Two IDF Soldiers Wounded in Yet Another Huwara Shooting

Two IDF combat soldiers were wounded – one severely and one moderately – in a shooting attack in Huwara on Motzoei Shabbos.

IDF forces arrived at the scene immediately after, and the two victims in their 20s were evacuated to the Rabin Medical Center.

According to the initial reports, the suspected terrorists shot from a moving car, and then drove off. The forces began a manhunt.

Right after the IDF announced a “shooting incident in the territory of the village Huwara,” the Palestinians reported that IDF troops were operating in the area.

Hamas spokesperson Mohammed Hamada said that the “new Huwara operation is a message that challenges the Zionist occupation army. The besieged town of Huwara continues to resist and react to the arrogance of the occupation and its settlers.

“As long as the occupation ensues, the resistance will continue,” he stated.

Motzoei Shabbos’ shooting marks the third terror attack to take place in Huwara during the last month.
