Israeli civilians injured in stone-throwing, Palestinians shot near Sa'ir village

IDF forces responded to stone-throwing at Israeli civilians conducting an unauthorized hike near Sa'ir village in the Etzion Brigade area. Israeli civilians were injured from the stones, and a security officer fired at the scene, causing Palestinian casualties. In a separate incident, firefighting forces extinguished a building fire in Bani Na'im. The IDF evacuated the Israeli civilians and stated that unauthorized hikes endanger participants and divert forces from defense missions. Judea and Samaria District police are investigating alongside IDF forces.
