Israeli Border Police wounded in Tulkarm – JTOD

6 Oct 2023, Samaria: The IDF and the Border Police each give a different version of the story. The Border Police used a grenade against the terrorists, one version said that the grenade bounced off a fence back towards the Police, the other version says that the terrorists acted quickly and threw it back. The difference may be either a desire to avoid embarrassment, or a lack of accurate information in a high-speed event. Either way, no testimony is made available from the officers involved.

"Five border policemen wounded in Tulkarm clash; troops hit by own grenade; Main terrorist suspect flees;" Jerusalem Post, 6 Oct 2023, pg 1. — Jerusalem Post, 6 Oct 2023, pg 1.

While the main terrorist fled successfully thus far, another terrorist opened fire on the police and was then hit by return fire from the police.
