The IDF has imposed a closure on the West Bank city of Kalkilya after Palestinians fired on a group of construction workers building the security fence in the area.

One of the workers, an Israeli Arab, was wounded in the attack and was taken to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba for treatment. He was reported to be in light to moderate condition.

Palestinian witnesses said IDF forces entered Kalkilya after the shooting attack and imposed a closure on the city.
