A man and a woman, both 22 years old, and a one-and-a-half-year-old boy were lightly wounded when an explosive device detonated near their car in Hermesh.
Four victims were taken to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera three in light condition and one in light to moderate condition.
Later in the day, the IDF cleared for publication that two of the wounded were IDF soldiers.
"Earlier today, two IDF soldiers on vacation were lightly and moderately injured as a result of an explosive device that detonated in an area adjacent to the community of Hermesh. Two additional civilians were lightly injured," the IDF stated.
Samaria Regional Council Head Yossi Dagan commented: "This is the second terror attack in two days in the same area which ended in a miracle. The Israeli government and the senior command must treat this seriously. Recently, we have been seeing a severe deterioration in the Ephraim Brigade's jurisdiction. The illegal weapons must be seized, the security checkpoints must return, and they must launch an expansive military operation against terror supporters."
Earlier in the week, three Israelis, aged 32, 16, and 15 years, were lightly wounded when a terrorist opened fire at their vehicle as they traveled near Shavei Shomron in Samaria.
