Three Israelis were wounded when Palestinians opened fire at their vehicle after they entered Nablus in the West Bank en route to Joseph’s Tomb, Israeli media reported on Wednesday morning.
The three reportedly entered the area without coordination with the IDF.
After being wounded, the three reportedly reached a military barrier, told the soldiers present that they had been hurt, and drove to the hospital.
Military investigating incident
The military later said that it had received a report of a shooting at an Israeli vehicle that had breached a barrier and entered Nablus illegally, adding that the incident was being investigated.

The IDF noted that the individuals had been questioned by the police.
The “entry into Area A is dangerous and prohibited for Israelis by law,” the military’s statement read.
“Life must not be endangered. No one is permitted to enter Joseph’s Tomb without coordination with the security forces. Anyone who does so is endangering lives,” head of the West Bank Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, was cited as saying by Israel’s public broadcaster KAN later on Wednesday, in a call to rabbis in the West Bank.
This is a developing story.
