2 Palestinians shot in West Bank clashes with IDF; army says they attacked troops
[IsraelTimes] Two men said seriously maimed; military says they hurled explosives at soldiers amid festivities in town of Yamoun, near Jenin; gunfire also reported in area

Two Paleostinians were shot and seriously maimed during festivities with Israeli troops in the northern West Bank on Monday morning, Paleostinian health officials said.

A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces told The Times of Israel that the two men attempted to hurl bombs at troops who were conducting arrests in the town of Yamoun.

"Dozens of Paleostinians gathered in the area, hurled stones and threw explosives at the forces. The troops fired at suspects who tried to hurl explosives at them. Hits were identified," the spokesperson said.

Footage posted to social media purported to show the two men sprawled on the ground, as Israeli soldiers were seen in the background.

According to the Paleostinian Authority’s health ministry, the two men were taken to a hospital in the nearby city of Jenin.

No Israeli troops were hurt in the operation, the military spokesperson said.

The IDF later said in a statement that troops detained 11 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank overnight Sunday, including four who were suspected of attacking an Israeli man in the town of Husan last week.

Recent weeks have seen an uptick in military activity in the northern West Bank amid a spate of deadly attacks in Israel, some of whose perpetrators came from the area.
