The Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s local wing in the West Bank city of Tulkarem takes responsibility for an explosive device attack against IDF troops earlier.
The terror group says in a statement that it set off the bomb against an armored vehicle near Nitzanei Oz Crossing.
Two soldiers were lightly injured in the incident.
The IDF says it has encircled Tulkarem and has set up roadblocks in the area following the attack.
Explosive attacks against troops in the West Bank have been relatively rare in recent months.
