An Israeli man has been attacked by Palestinians after mistakenly entering the West Bank town of Turmus Ayya, the military says.
The man’s car was set on fire after entering the town, footage posted by Palestinian media outlets shows.
The Israel Defense Forces says troops are working to extract the man from the town.
The military says it “emphasizes” that entering Area A of the West Bank — under full Palestinian control — “is prohibited and dangerous for Israelis.”
