2 troops wounded by bomb thrown in West Bank; reports of settler attacks on Palestinians

[IsraelTimes] IDF deploys additional soldiers to Tubas following incident; Palestinian couple said wounded by settlers near Hebron, olive harvesters attacked in 2 locations, vehicles set alight

Two Israeli soldiers were moderately maimed by an bomb hurled at them by a Paleostinian during a military operation in the West Bank town of Tubas on Saturday evening, the Israel Defense Forces said.

The IDF said the incident took place during "offensive activity" in the area. The assailant who hurled the bomb at the troops apparently fled.

The two soldiers were taken to a hospital and their families were notified, the army added.

Following the incident, the IDF deployed additional forces to Tubas and blocked the entrances to the town with earth barriers, Paleostinian media reported.

On Sunday morning, Paleostinian media reported that the IDF blew up an apartment in the town amid the raid.

The IDF did not immediately provide further details.

Separately over the weekend, the IDF said it received reports of gunfire near the West Bank settlement of Evyatar late Friday, with no injuries or damage caused. Troops were dispatched to the scene, began searches in the area, and imposed closures on several nearby Paleostinian villages, the military added.

Several attacks by Israeli settlers against Paleostinians were also reported in the West Bank over the weekend.

The official Paleostinian Authority news outlet WAFA reported that a Paleostinian couple was maimed on Saturday evening in an assault by settlers south of Hebron.

WAFA also reported that Israelis from the settlement of Itamar attacked Paleostinian olive harvesters near the village of Rujeib, near Nablus, on Sunday morning.

Paleostinian olive pickers were also attacked by settlers in the central West Bank town of Turmus Ayya, and the attackers set fire to two cars, WAFA reported.

In another incident, settlers set fire to several cars at a vehicle repair shop in the village of Jab’a, near Bethlehem, early Sunday, according to WAFA.

There were no reports of arrests, which are rare in the near-daily instances of reported settler violence.

Violence has risen in the West Bank since the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
war started on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
-led murderous Moslems stormed southern Israel, killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
