After shooting attack, Israelis cross West Bank barrier to confront Palestinians
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent.
A group of residents of the northern town of Meirav broke through the West Bank security barrier to confront Palestinians in a nearby village, following a shooting attack in the area earlier today.
This morning, Israeli forces carrying out a patrol on the West Bank security barrier came under fire near Meirav. Damage was caused to a military vehicle, but no soldiers were hurt.
Footage shows a group of Israelis on the outskirts of Jalbun, the Palestinian village from which the shooting was apparently carried out.
A military spokesperson tells The Times of Israel that IDF troops reached the scene and escorted the Israelis out of the village.
בעקבות פיגוע הירי הבוקר באזור: קבוצת תושבי קיבוץ מירב בגלבוע פרצו את גדר התפר ונכנסו לתוך הכפר הפלסטיני הסמוך ג׳ילבון, ממנו ככל הנראה בוצע הירי.
בשעה זו כוחות צה״ל פועלים לחלצם מהכפר. @GLZRadio pic.twitter.com/Ox8PkuiWpv— דורון קדוש | Doron Kadosh (@Doron_Kadosh) September 18, 2023
