IDF Opens Fire on Palestinians Throwing Stones in West Bank Village
Israeli forces fired live ammunition at Palestinian stone-throwers in the West Bank village of Hajja on Sunday evening. The incident occurred after soldiers responded to a report of friction between Palestinians and Israeli civilians who had entered the village.
Upon arrival, the forces worked to disperse the confrontation and escort the Israeli civilians out of Hajja. Subsequently, a violent disturbance erupted, with Palestinian rioters throwing stones at the soldiers. In response, the forces employed a suspect apprehension procedure, which included firing into the air and then directly at key instigators.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that "hits were identified" and stated that the incident is under investigation. Further details were expected.
