The IDF<\/a> safely located nine Israelis after being dispatched to the West Bank<\/a> village of Mukhmas on suspicion of kidnapping or a security event, the military confirmed on Thursday.<\/p>\n

At approximately 4:00 a.m., the IDF received a report that a car with nine Israelis entered the village while being pursued by police.<\/p>\n

The car was attacked by Palestinians, and when the IDF arrived on the scene, the vehicle was found damaged and with no sign of the Israelis.<\/p>\n

During the search, one of the civilians contacted security forces to inform them that everyone who had been in the vehicle had safely left the village after abandoning the car.<\/p>\n

The IDF continued to scan the village area to fully rule out any possibility of a security-related incident.<\/p>\n

Judea and Samaria Police rescued an IDF soldier<\/a> from the West Bank<\/a> town of Tarqumiyah last week following a report from Palestinian Authority security forces of a person in military uniform handcuffed in the center of the town.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The soldier, a resident of southern Israel serving in the IDF, was taken to the Hebron police station.<\/p>\n

A preliminary investigation found that the soldier was unarmed.<\/p>\n

The incident is believed to be criminal in nature rather than nationalistic or terror-motivated.<\/p>\n

Both incidents follow similar reports over recent months of Israelis entering Area A of the West Bank before being rescued.<\/p>\n
