Two Israeli civilians who mistakenly entered the West Bank city of Jenin were attacked by Palestinians, the military says.
The IDF says the pair entered Jenin in their car and had stones thrown at them. Damage was caused to the car, but the Israelis were unharmed.
The two civilians then met up with Israeli troops at the Gilboa Crossing, the army says.
The IDF says that following the incident, “troops were dispatched to detain wanted [Palestinians] in the Jenin area.”
