The military says it is investigating after an Israeli settler was reportedly injured by live fire during an attack on soldiers in the West Bank last night.
Overnight Friday-Saturday, a 14-year-old was taken from the Ramallah area to the hospital in light condition after being hit by a bullet in his torso.
The IDF says that in the area of the violence near the Palestinian village of Kafr Malik, “no live fire was conducted toward Israeli civilians.”
“The battalion commander who operated in the area did not fire live rounds at all,” the IDF says, referring to the officer who was assaulted by the settlers.
In a nearby area at the same time, settlers hurled stones at an army vehicle, and troops fired three warning shots in the air in response, according to the military.
“It is being looked into if there is a relation between the incident and the claim that an Israeli civilian was hurt by live fire,” the IDF says.
