During an arrest in the Palestinian city of Tulkarem Thursday morning, an IDF grenade rebounded on Israeli forces, seriously injuring three officers and mildly to moderately injuring two others. Hospitals in the area have already received the injured officers and their families have been notified. The forces arrived in the city early in the morning to arrest a senior operative of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organization, and a firefight, including the use of explosives, erupted on their way out of the area.

During a separate incident this morning (Thursday), explosives also lightly injured another soldier.

Please pray for full healing for the injured soldiers and comfort for their families. Please pray that God would reveal Himself to them during this time. Lastly, please pray for the soldiers as they continue to do their duties.
