Military says Israelis rescued from Palestinian town after suspected ‘criminal incident’

Following earlier reports, the IDF says that it rescued two Israeli citizens who entered the Palestinian town of Dayr Balut in the West Bank and “were attacked.”

The military says the incident was “likely criminal in nature,” indicating that there was some dispute involved and it was not a nationally motivated terror attack. One of the Israelis was treated at the scene, and they were both transferred to police custody, the IDF adds.
