The IDF Spokesperson's Unit said that overnight Saturday, about 30 Jewish residents violated order near the community of Yitzhar, throwing rocks at IDF soldiers and piercing the tires of their vehicle. As a result of the rock throwing, an IDF fighter was lightly injured and received medical treatment at the scene.
The statement further said that the fighters responded by using riot dispersal means and firing into the air in accordance with the rules of engagement. The rioters dispersed.
"The IDF strongly condemns physical and verbal violence against its soldiers and considers such incidents to be very serious."
