IDF says Palestinian civilians injured after troops open fire on vehicle

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said three Palestinians were injured during an incident involving Israeli troops in the Hebron area on June 5, after soldiers opened fire on a vehicle. 

According to the IDF, soldiers operating in the area perceived a vehicle accelerating toward them. In response, a soldier fired single shots at the vehicle, resulting in injuries to three individuals, who were subsequently evacuated for medical treatment, Caliber.Az reports. 

An initial internal review later indicated that those injured were uninvolved civilians.

“The incident is under review, and the findings will be submitted for review by the relevant authorities,” the IDF said, adding that it “expresses deep sorrow for any harm caused to uninvolved individuals.”
