Israeli security forces were responding to a traffic accident near Beit HaBracha when the situation escalated into a security incident. While providing medical assistance at the scene, the forces were surrounded by a crowd that began to riot.
During the confrontation, a suspect attempted to seize a weapon from one of the soldiers and was neutralized by security forces. Several others were injured and have been transported to local hospitals for treatment.
All security personnel at the scene are reported unharmed and the situation is now under control.
Further details about the initial traffic accident that prompted the military response are still pending.
This is a developing story.
