A Palestinian terrorist opened fire on Israeli vehicles on Wednesday night in the northern West Bank, wounding a pregnant woman and her husband who were en route to the hospital in order to deliver their baby, the Prime Minister’s Office said.

The woman in her 30s was critically injured. Doctors delivered her baby after she was rushed to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, and the condition of the infant was listed as serious.

Her husband, roughly 40 years old, was lightly injured, the hospital said, after his condition was initially listed as serious.

The IDF said it had launched a manhunt for the shooter who fired at several vehicles on Route 446 outside the Bruchin settlement, where the wounded couple is from.

Roadblocks were established throughout the area, with Palestinian media reporting that some Palestinians were forced to sleep in their cars overnight because they were prevented from getting home.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was “deeply shocked by the horrific terrorist attack.”

“This abhorrent incident precisely reflects the difference between us, who desire and bring life, and the reprehensible terrorists, whose goal is to kill us and destroy life,” he said in the statement released by his office.
