Every source for this story reports from Israel.

An off-duty IDF soldier has been suspended and detained for questioning after firing at Palestinians on the outskirts of the village of Al-Mughayyir in the West Bank. The soldier stated that the individuals were throwing stones at him. No injuries were reported in the incident, and no other IDF soldiers were present at the time of the shooting.

The event occurred amid clashes between Palestinian residents and Israeli civilians who raided the village. The IDF reported that soldiers were deployed to the area several times on Saturday due to reports of stone throwing between villagers and civilians, noting that soldiers were also targeted with stones upon their arrival.

While both reports focus on the soldier's suspension, the center-right source provides additional context regarding broader security warnings, noting that officials believe Hamas may attempt to advance terror plots targeting Israeli civilians and soldiers.
