IDF update:
Following the initial report of a shooting at an Israeli vehicle near Mount Ebal in the Samaria Division, after an on-site investigation, it appears that this was most likely not a terrorist attack. The initial investigation indicates that a force of Palestinian security forces present at the scene responded by shooting at the vehicle after an Israeli citizen who had inadvertently entered the city of Nablus, bypassed a Palestinian checkpoint in Area A, and sped away on his way out near the checkpoint. Upon learning of the incident, the coordination and liaison mechanisms between the Israeli security establishment and the Palestinian mechanisms were immediately activated to clarify the circumstances of the incident. The incident is being investigated in the ongoing dialogue between the parties. The IDF reiterates that entry into Area A is prohibited and dangerous for Israelis.
