Israeli forces responded to live fire with fire, managing to hit multiple targets.

Israeli border police were attacked on Friday during the arrest of a wanted individual in the village of Aqaba, Israeli media reported later in the day.

During a routine patrol in the Manasseh Regional Brigade area, Israeli border police personnel were alerted by a Golani reconnaissance unit operating in the village of Aqaba about an operation aiming to arrest a wanted individual.

Upon meeting resistance during the arrest operation, additional border police were summoned to the scene. Israeli forces responded to fire directed at them with live fire of their own in order to disperse the rioters.

The IDF confirmed hits on militant targets during the operation.
