A preliminary police investigation found that the bomb was placed behind a barrier on the side of the road.
The 21-year-old victim was taken in serious condition to the Emek Medical Center in Afula.
The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) opened a probe into the incident to determine whether the bombing was an act of terrorism or criminal in nature.
There’s currently a gag order on any additional details.
