Palestinians hurled an improvised explosive device at the West Bank security barrier, the military says.

The Israel Defense Forces says the IED that exploded near the barrier close to the Palestinian village of Araqah caused no injuries or damage.

Footage published to social media shows the blast.

Araqah is close to the northern West Bank settlements of Shaked, Hinanit, and Tal Menashe, which are on the western, or Israeli, side of the barrier.
