Several suspects who were injured by the gunfire were arrested, with their vehicle confiscated. Israeli forces launched scans of the area in search of suspects who fled the scene, the IDF said.
In total, 16 Palestinian suspects were arrested as part of an overnight raid of the West Bank, the IDF added later on Monday morning.
