A busload of IDF military police was attacked after mistakenly entering the Kalandiya refugee camp outside of Jerusalem on Sunday, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said.
A female officer and two soldiers who were in the vehicle were wounded by stones, the IDF said. Security forces rescued the troops and returned them to Israeli territory, and the wounded were evacuated to Jerusalem's Shaare Zedek for medical treatment.Israeli border police arrested three Palestinian suspects who threw stones in the incident, a police statement said. Two of those arrested were residents of Ramallah and Kalandia, and the third suspect did not have identifying documents.
Last February, a military vehicle that mistakenly entered the West Bank city of Jenin was pelted with massive stones by dozens of Palestinians, who also physically attacked the soldiers inside the vehicle.
The soldiers were rescued from the mob with the aid of Palestinian security forces and brought to the IDF. Two soldiers were wounded in that incident, one of whom was evacuated to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. The second soldier’s weapon was stolen.
