An IDF soldier was injured during a pre-dawn operation in Bethlehem, an army spokesperson said Monday morning.
“Overnight, during an operation involving IDF forces in Bethlehem, disturbances and violent riots were sparked, during which stones and fireworks were thrown at the soldiers,” the spokesperson said.
“As a result, a soldier was injured, and was evacuated in light condition to a hospital for treatment.”
Other IDF soldiers who took part in the operation responded to the attacks with crowd dispersal techniques.
