Two IDF reservists were injured, one seriously, by an explosive device placed on the side of the road in the Shomron on Wednesday.

The incident occurred while IDF forces from the Ephraim Regional Brigade’s 9221st Reserve Battalion were carrying out an operational activity in the village of Beita.

The soldiers were evacuated to the hospital for treatment.

IDF forces imposed a siege on the village and launched a manhunt for the terrorists.
