A Border Policeman was lightly injured after an explosive was thrown at him during an undercover operation in the Daheisheh refugee camp south of Bethlehem, police announced Sunday morning. The incident occurred during an arrest raid conducted by IDF, Shin Bet and Border Police throughout the West Bank on Saturday night, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

The policeman was injured by shrapnel when an explosive was thrown at him. The offer is in light condition and was hospitalized at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

Riots began to break out as the officers and soldiers left the camp, which saw explosives, stones and Molotov cocktails thrown at the Israeli forces.

Security forces arrested two suspects in the Palestinian town of Anabta near Tulkarm, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit added.
