IDF investigating how soldiers ended up in Tulkarem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo female IDF soldiers have been rescued from Tulkarm, after rocks were thrown at their vehicle, upon entering the Palestinian city “mistakenly,” an army spokesperson says.
The army received reports of the soldiers’ accidental entrance into the Palestinian city. The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories unit, along with the Israel Police, intervened to rescue the soldiers.
Once they were taken out of Tulkarm, the soldiers “were transferred to IDF custody,” a spokesperson says.
It’s not immediately clear how the soldiers mistakenly entered the city, the spokesperson adds.
“The incident will be investigated,” the army says.
