IDF troops entered a hospital in the West Bank city of Jenin without proper approval earlier today, the military says.
The incident began after troops of the Kfir Brigade chased after a Palestinian teenager who allegedly filmed them in the Jenin refugee camp.
The suspect ran to the Jenin Government Hospital, where the soldiers detained him. He was freed a short while later.
The IDF says it has launched an investigation into the incident.
Operating at sensitive sites, such as hospitals, typically requires the approval of senior officers.
