The 20-year-old soldier who was wounded by Arab terrorists near Ariel Wednesday afternoon is in "serious but stable" condition, according to doctors at Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikva. However, he remains unconscious.

A second victim was lightly injured and was treated and released. Soldiers still are combing the area for the terrorists after locating the vehicle used in the shooting attack. The attackers shot at the victims, who were at a hitchhiking station, and also fired at passing cars, without causing injuries.
