The Israel Defense Forces says a soldier and a Border Police officer are lightly hurt during clashes with Palestinians in the West Bank town of Turmus Ayya earlier.
The military says troops entered the town to seize some NIS 650,000 ($177,000) in cash, suspected to have been used to fund terror activities.
“During the activity, dozens of Palestinians gathered in the area and attacked the forces, threw stones, and threw paint bottles,” the IDF says.
The IDF says troops responded with riot dispersal means and live fire in the air, and detained two suspects.
One IDF soldier is taken to hospital in good condition after being assaulted by a Palestinian, and a Border Police officer is treated at the scene after being hit by a stone, the military says.
