IDF Spokesperson: According to Palestinian sources, a special Israeli force infiltrated the Al-Qaryun neighborhood in the Old City of Nablus but was exposed and came under fire from an ambush (the fire from which the soldier was wounded).

According to these sources, additional IDF forces were deployed to this neighborhood and to the Yasmina neighborhood in the Old City of Nablus (which was previously a stronghold of the “Areen al-Aswad” – Lion’s Den – terror organization).

Large IDF forces are currently in Nablus and are pursuing the terrorists. Sounds of gunfire are being heard in the area.
