An Israeli officer was wounded on Friday when he was attacked with stones in the main street between Nablus and Qalqilia. A group of youths attacked the officer, also a settler, while he was riding a motorbike near Azzon town, said Palestinian sources. The officer fell from his bike and the attackers stole his firearm, added the sources.
Israeli forces, in response, raided Palestinian houses in Azzon town searching for the youths who seized the Israeli firearm. Earlier during the day, Israeli Army troops detained a Palestinian in his 30s for stabbing an Israeli soldier with a sharp object, Israel Radio said. The radio said the Palestinian attacked the soldier near Al-Ibrahimi mosque, inflicting medium wounds. |
