A confrontation erupted between an Israeli and a Palestinian at a settlement farm in the Susya area in the southern West Bank, during which the Palestinian snatched the Israeli man’s gun, according to initial findings by the IDF.
The Israeli man was wounded after being hit in the head by a rock, Magen David Adom says.
The Palestinian apparently fired the gun in the air during the incident, and no injuries were caused by the gunfire.
The IDF says it has dispatched troops to the scene and is searching for the Palestinian.
