Five people were injured Wednesday morning in a rock attack near Sebastia in Samaria.

During the attack, Palestinian Arabs from the village of Ramin threw stones at Jews in the grazing areas of Brit Avraham in Samaria.

Magen David Adom (MDA) evacuated a man of around 25 to Beilinson Hospital in moderate condition and suffering a head injury.

Four additional victims were treated at the scene for light injuries.

Later, on Wednesday afternoon, the IDF stated: "Earlier today (Wednesday), IDF soldiers and Israel Border Police forces were dispatched to the Bazariya area following a report of rock hurling toward an Israeli civilian, who was injured."

"A confrontation subsequently developed, involving a gathering of dozens of Palestinians and Israeli civilians. During the confrontation and the evacuation of the injured Israeli civilian for medical treatment, a security personnel member and an additional Israeli civilian opened fire at the site of the confrontation.

"At the same time, security forces operated to disperse the gathering. A commander operating in the area identified a terrorist running toward him while carrying a suspicious object and neutralized him.

"In addition, several suspects in the hurling of rocks were apprehended and are currently being questioned by security forces.

"The incident is under review."
