A group of four terrorists opened fire on IDF soldiers from two passing cars, after midnight on Friday morning. The attack happened at the Huwara checkpoint near Shechem (Nablus).
The IDF returned fire killing one of the terrorists. Three others managed to flee to Refedya hospital in Shechem, only to discover that the doctors at that hospital are on strike in response to PA president Mahmoud Abbas’s decision to dispand the Palestinian Authority Doctors Association. Another terrorist died of his wounds at the hospital.
