[israelTimes] Military says rioter threw bomb in Dheisheh refugee camp; 2 detained in Tulkarem on suspicion of terror activities; reported shooting toward Israeli car, no injuries

An undercover Border Police officer was lightly injured Sunday morning during festivities between Israeli security forces and Paleostinians in the Dheisheh refugee camp south of Bethlehem.

The officer was lightly hurt by shrapnel when an bomb was thrown toward troops during an operation inside the refugee camp.

The officer was taken to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center for treatment.

According to reports, three Paleostinians were also maimed in the festivities with Israeli troops. There were no further details on their conditions.

In a statement, police said that the undercover officer was involved in the operation at the home of a suspect.

When they left the refugee camp, police said, they were attacked by rioters who threw rocks and more bombs.

"Hits were identified at a number of bully boyz who hurled explosives," police said. Police did not say if the suspect was detained.

In a separate operation, the IDF said troops detained two Paleostinians suspected of involvement in terror activities in Danaba, a neighborhood of the West Bank city of Tulkarem, but did not elaborate on the suspicions against the pair. They were taken to be questioned by the Shin Bet security agency.

The IDF also said it received an overnight report of shooting toward an Israeli vehicle at Zif Junction, south of Hebron. The driver was unharmed in the incident, and no damage was caused to his vehicle. Troops went to the scene, where they found several shell casings in the area.
