Two IDF soldiers were wounded on Tuesday night after an explosive device was thrown at them during a raid on a refugee camp in Judea and Samaria, according to the Israeli military.

One of the soldiers sustained light and the other moderate wounds. Both were evacuated to the hospital for treatment.

“During the night, IDF forces conducted an arrest operation in the Balata refugee camp in the city of Nablus. During the operation, two IDF soldiers were wounded, lightly and moderately, apparently by shrapnel from an explosive device thrown at them,” the IDF said in a statement.

The U.S. president said that Mosss “has been tremendous as deputy staff secretary and, before that, as policy director to the vice president.”
