The terrorist has not yet been caught.
It was the second sniper attack on the IDF in less than six hours. Earlier in the day, a 19-year-old female soldier was hit by Arab sniper fire in a similar attack at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron.
That terrorist had fired from a nearby rooftop in the Abu Sneineh neighborhood, according to military sources. IDF troops fanned out to hunt for the sniper but he has not yet been tracked down.
