IDF foils attempted terrorist attack on West Bank highway.

Israeli troops shot a Palestinian man who was allegedly placing an explosive device on a highway in the West Bank. The suspect was brought to a nearby hospital in moderate condition. Earlier, Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a settlement in the northern West Bank and a town in Israel bordering the security barrier. The IDF has launched a manhunt for the suspects behind the shooting attack. Tensions between Israel and the Palestinians have been elevated for the past year.
