An 18-year-old Israeli man was moderately wounded on Wednesday when a terrorist opened fire at him near the Shovael Agricultural Farm next to the Western Ariel Industrial Zone.
Magen David Adom (MDA) updated that the victim was taken to Beilinson Hospital in moderate condition with a gunshot wound in the arm.
The suspect fled the scene.
The IDF Spokesperson's Unit stated: "Following the initial report regarding a shooting attack near Ari'el, an Israeli civilian, moderately injured by gunfire, arrived at the Ari'el Industrial Park and is currently receiving medical treatment."
The security forces began a pursuit after the terrorist and are setting up roadblocks in the area.
Senior MDA paramedic Gennady Dubinsky said: "We reached an 18-year-old young man who was fully conscious and suffering from a gunshot wound to his hand. We were told that he was injured while driving near the farm. We provided him with medical treatment and evacuated him to the hospital while continuing treatment. His condition is moderate and stable."
On Monday, a baby was injured in a rock-throwing attack on an Israeli vehicle in the Huwara area.
The child was reportedly lightly injured in the attack. The vehicle continued on to the entrance to the Samaria Border Police Station, where the baby received medical treatment.
