Meanwhile, the IDF spokesperson stated that yesterday, gunfire was directed at an Israeli vehicle in the area near the village, close to the Mitzpe David farm, and security forces responded with searches and the imposition of blockades on the village. The police opened an investigation into another violent incident: the assault of a Palestinian woman with a stick in the area of Khirbet Markaz in the southern Hebron Hills.
