IDF soldier lightly hurt after accidentally entering Palestinian village

An IDF soldier is lightly injured after he accidentally entered Palestinian village in the West Bank and residents pelted his truck with rocks, the army says.

It is not immediately clear what caused the soldier to accidentally enter the village of Sa’ir, north of Hebron. But once inside, he became surrounded by local residents who attacked him and his vehicle.

He was rescued by Palestinian security services and handed over to the IDF “in collaboration with the Civil Administration,” the army says.

The soldier was taken to a nearby hospital for medical care, the army adds.
