The incident marked the second epsiode of sniper fire towards soldiers in the Hebron area on Sunday.
Earlier on Sunday afternoon, an Israeli man was very lightly wounded in a stabbing attack in Jerusalem on Sunday afternoon. The terrorist was captured not far from the scene.
The attacker arrived at a bus stop on Barazani Street in the capital, where he took out a knife and tried to stab a civilian waiting for the bus. The knife failed to break the skin, and the attacker then fled the scene. A suspect fitting the description given to police was caught in the area shortly thereafter.
