Two Israeli soldiers were wounded in a shooting in Huwara on Saturday evening.

Terrorists fired at a military post from a passing vehicle, in the third attack over the past month against Israelis in the Arab village just outside Nablus in Samaria.

The wounded soldiers were evacuated to the hospital, with one in serious and the other in moderate condition. The Israel Defense Forces said that a hunt for the terrorist was underway including roadblocks set up to inspect vehicles entering and exiting Huwara.

The two soldiers are in their 20s and serve in the Kfir Brigade, the largest infantry brigade in the IDF. They were being treated for their wounds at Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah.

On Feb. 26, Israeli brothers Hallel Menachem and Yagel Yaakov Yaniv were killed in Huwara in a shooting while sitting in their car at a junction on the highway.

This was followed by another shooting on March 19 at the same junction, which seriously wounded a dual Israeli-U.S. citizen, David Stern, 41.
