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 Israeli firm Gambit Security said that the cyber attack had the hallmarks of prior Iranian attacks.
District leaders ought to be “ashamed of themselves for giving such a dangerous group unfettered access to their schools and students,” Casey Ryan, of Defending Education, told JNS.
“No one stands alone in our city, when one community is targeted by hate, all of Chicago feels the impact,” stated Brandon Johnson, the city mayor.
The public university “inexplicably took no serious action whatsoever” as “Jewish and Israeli students risked physical assault” during the 2024 anti-Israel campus protests.
Police said the suspect repeatedly slapped the woman on her upper back from behind, though authorities are not investigating the incident as a hate crime.
“Attacking someone because of their faith is not just a crime against one person, it’s an assault on our community,” the Los Angeles County district attorney said.
