No injuries or damage were caused in two shooting attacks carried out by Palestinian terrorists in the Ramallah area on Saturday night.

In the first incident, the assailants fired at an IDF pillbox near the community of Psagot. Several gun shells were found near the area of the attack.

The IDF launched a search for the terrorists.

Less than an hour later, shots were fired at the Beituniya Crossing, in the same district. Shells were again recovered from the scene of attack.

The IDF suspects that both shootings were carried out by the same terror cell.

In another incident, a Palestinian rioter was shot dead and another was injured during clashes with Israeli forces in the village of Urif, south of Shechem (Nablus).

The Palestinian health ministry said Omayr Shehadah, 19, died of his wounds after he was critically injured in the chest, ostensibly by shots fired by Israeli forces. Hammam Sobhi, 16, was injured in the leg.

The IDF stated that it has launched an investigation into the incident.
