An Israeli car on Saturday evening was exposed to a drive-by shooting attack on a road near one of Gush Etzion settlements located between al-Khalil and Bethlehem in the West Bank.
According to different Israeli news reports one person at least believed to be a Palestinian opened fire from a speeding car at another one boarded by Jewish settlers on Road 60 near Karmei Tzur settlement.
No one of the settlers aboard the car was injured in the attack.
Consequently a large number of Israeli military forces rushed to the area cordoned off the settlement and searched the northern area of Halhoul city.
The IOF also closed the road for several hours and stopped Palestinian cars traveling to al-Khalil city.
The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) obtained information asserting that the IOF chased a Palestinian citizen driving a car suspected of opening fire at the settlers; however there is still no confirmation if this driver was arrested or not.
