Palestinian media report that Israeli forces arrested a wounded Palestinian and his brother at a hospital in Nablus, where casualties from the Samaria attack were evacuated. The circumstances of the arrest remain unclear.
Palestinian media reported on Friday afternoon that Israeli forces arrested a wounded Palestinian man and his brother at a hospital in Nablus (Shechem), where casualties from the morning's shooting attack near Havat Gilad were evacuated. The arrest comes after a series of developments: Israeli forces first encircled Nablus at approximately 13:41 Jerusalem time, then surrounded the hospital around 15:34, and raided it by 15:42, according to reports tracked by The Zioneer. The hospital is the same facility where the body of the suspected terrorist, Farouk Adnan Ramadan, was reportedly held.
Earlier Friday, the IDF announced the arrest of eight suspects for stone-throwing near Ma'oz Tzvi, as part of a broader security operation in Nablus. The operation escalated when reports emerged that Israeli forces were surrounding a hospital to apprehend wounded terrorists from the morning attack. By 15:34, multiple sources, including security analyst Yair Goldblatt and the 301 Arab World platform, indicated that the terrorist's body and additional suspects were inside the hospital. The raid was first reported at 15:42, and unverified footage later showed IDF forces entering the facility. The reports of the arrest of the wounded Palestinian and his brother represent the latest development in this rapidly unfolding incident.
The events in Nablus are part of a wider security operation in Judea and Samaria on Friday. Earlier reports, as The Zioneer noted at 15:47 Jerusalem, indicated dozens of wounded terrorists across multiple locations, with at least seven in serious to critical condition. The IDF has not commented on the specific arrest at the hospital.
The circumstances of the arrest and the identities of the two Palestinians detained have not been confirmed by Israeli sources. It remains unclear whether they are directly linked to the morning attack or are part of the broader sweep. The footage of the hospital entry remains unverified, and the IDF has not issued a statement.
