A female IDF soldier was seriously injured by shrapnel in the course of a gun battle during a counterterrorism operation in the Jordan Valley overnight Tuesday The incident occurred as IDF forces were operating in the village of Tubas to arrest a wanted person suspected of terrorist activity. During the operation, terrorists opened fire at the IDF soldiers who were in hiding positions behind a wall prior to advancing toward the suspect’s home. A bullet fired by the terrorists apparently hit the wall and a piece of shrapnel hit the soldier’s head. The soldier was evacuated in serious condition to Sheba Hospital in Tel HaShomer. She underwent surgery and is now beginning to recover. She is fully conscious and is communicating with those around her. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
