An IDF reservist was lightly injured during an exchange of fire with Palestinian fighters in the northern Gaza Strip today, the military says.

The incident took place in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood. It came amid reports that the IDF is limiting its activity in the Strip ahead of the release of hostage soldier Edan Alexander from Hamas captivity.

The IDF says the injured soldier was taken to a hospital for treatment.
