An Israeli soldier on Tuesday evening was injured when a group of Palestinian young men ambushed and attacked a military force at an entrance to Taqua town east of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) the young men hurled a hail of stones at the military force within al-Shurfa area of the village and managed to escape without being spotted.
They added that the Israeli occupation army intensified its presence at all entrances to the village following the attack and evacuated the wounded soldier to a hospital in Jerusalem.
