As a result of the wanted man's shooting at IDF forces, the wanted man's brother was injured while he was outside the house.
After the exchange of fire, the wanted man surrendered and turned himself in to IDF soldiers at the scene. The wanted man and the M-16 weapon he used were transferred to the General Security Service for further investigation.
Also, during the activity in the village, IDF forces were fired upon from several locations. The forces responded by firing at the sources of the firing, several hits were identified on the militants, and one terrorist was killed as a result of the forces' fire.
The IDF and Shin Bet note that "there is a known claim about two media personnel who were present in the combat zone and were injured, it is unknown as to what the result was. It should be emphasized that the presence of uninvolved civilians in combat zones poses a real danger to life.".
