An IDF reserve officer has been killed in a shooting incident near the Palestinian village of Immatin, in the West Bank, the IDF spokesperson announced on Saturday evening.
Initial reports suggest that the incident occurred after IDF soldiers involved in operational activities were pursuing suspects who had thrown stones at a military vehicle.
During the operations, the IDF identified a suspicious vehicle carrying armed individuals and fired at the vehicle.
Concurrently, a separate unit that responded to the incident apparently sustained injuries from the gunfire after arriving at the scene. The reserve officer was killed, and an IDF soldier standing nearby was lightly wounded.
The incident is currently under investigation by the Military Police.
