Two soldiers were slightly injured this afternoon (Thursday) by an explosive device in the area of the Nitzani Oz crossing near Tulkarm in Samaria.
A drone was scrambled to chase the bomb planter, and at the same time, a crown was placed on Tul Kerem.
The IDF is currently investigating whether the charge was placed on the axle and the force stepped on it - or whether the charge was thrown at the force while it was traveling.
An IDF spokesman said: "During an activity by IDF forces in Tulkarm in the Ephraim Brigade, a military vehicle was damaged as a result of an explosive device detonating on the perimeter fence. IDF forces have imposed a cordon on the city and are carrying out blockades and checks in the area.".
The terrorist organization Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the incident.
