Terrorists in the Palestinian village of Ya’bad in northern Samaria shot at an adjacent Israeli military post on Saturday night.
Israel Defense Forces soldiers returned fire, the army said.
ירי מתוך הכפר יעבד בוצע הלילה לעבר עמדה צבאית בסמוך לכפר. לוחמי צה"ל שהיו בעמדה הגיבו בירי, אין נפגעים לכוחותינו ולא נגרם נזק. לאחר סריקות, אותרו תרמילים בסמוך למסגד בכפר וכוחות צה"ל פתחו במרדף אחר חשודים

Jerusalem police station
Police arrested a Palestinian suspected of throwing a Molotov cocktail and setting off fireworks near a police station in southern Jerusalem, the police said on Sunday morning.
The incident took place two weeks ago.
A search of the suspect’s eastern Jerusalem home turned up several flags of the Hamas and Lions’ Den terrorist groups and an M16-type bullet.
The suspect is in his 20s.
