An IDF combat soldier was lightly injured from shrapnel this morning after terrorists opened fire upon a military outpost on the outskirts of Nablus, according to reports by Israeli media outlets.
The terrorists likely fired on the outpost from within the city itself, according to reports. The wounded soldier has since been treated at a nearby hospital while the IDF conducts a search for the instigators.
Security forces operated on Saturday in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, Kan News reported. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) targeted armed terrorists who fired at soldiers from the Kfir Brigade's 90th Battalion.
At least one was reported dead, and several others were wounded from IDF fire and the UAV strike, Walla reported, citing Palestinian media.
