The shooting took place in a carwash in Huwara, online newspaper The Times of Israel reported.
According to a statement released by the Israeli Defence Forces, soldiers are currently pursuing the suspects and have set up blockades in the area.
Violence between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank, a territory captured by Israel during the 1967 Middle East war, has been on the rise in the past 16 months, fueled by frequent deadly Israeli raids.
