Three Israeli soldiers were injured in separate incidents in the occupied West Bank, including a shooting at the Reihan crossing and a car-ramming and stabbing attempt in Hebron Hills. In the first incident, a suspected gunman opened fire on soldiers during a military operation. The troops returned fire, and the assailant managed to flee the scene.
