Israeli police rescued an active-duty IDF soldier in uniform from the Palestinian town of Tarqumiya, near Hebron, overnight. Police sources say the incident is believed to stem from a criminal dispute, not a terrorist attack.
Israeli police extracted an active-duty IDF soldier from the Palestinian town of Tarqumiya, northwest of Hebron, early Thursday morning. The soldier, wearing his uniform, was found in the town center; police sources say the incident is believed to have a criminal background rather than a terrorist motive. No details on the soldier's condition or any arrests have been released.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, this follows a separate incident in which a soldier was found handcuffed in the same area. The police are investigating possible links between the cases.
