Several Palestinians attacked two Israeli civilians on Sunday, hurled rocks at them, and stole their flock of sheep on the outskirts of an Arab village near Ramallah, the IDF said.

The two Israelis were lightly hurt and evacuated to the hospital for medical treatment, the military told JNS.

Upon receiving the report of the attack, Israeli forces were dispatched to the scene near Dayr Jarir to disperse the confrontation.

Subsequently, several Israeli civilians entered the Arab village in search of the stolen flock and were escorted out by the Israeli security personnel.

The forces recovered the stolen flock from the Palestinians.

Troops found more than 20 mortar shells, launchers, explosives, Kalashnikov rifles and other combat equipment.
