According to Army Radio, an IDF soldier seriously injured a Palestinian man on Friday near the town of Kafr Dura, for allegedly attempting to run over soldiers. The incident occurred shortly after a fatal terrorist attack in Hebron that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others. Two terrorists were killed in the confrontation, and the IDF claims no further terrorists were involved.
However, the military did not detain the injured Palestinian for questioning. The IDF stated it was investigating the matter but did not provide further details on why they did not detain the suspect. Following the attack, Israeli security forces have been forcibly evacuating around 2,000 Palestinians from the Hebron area and destroying numerous buildings.
The IDF said the evacuations and demolitions were in response to the Friday attack and aimed to remove illegal infrastructure that could pose a security threat. However, the military did not disclose information about the specific offenses of the 2,000 evacuated Palestinians, other than stating they were family members of the Hamas-linked Gaza clan involved in the incident.
