An IDF force arrested a Palestinian suspect after an attempted weapon seizure near Metzad in the Etzion Brigade sector. The incident began when stones were thrown at an Israeli civilian, prompting the community security coordinator to reach the area and detain several suspects. The IDF said another Palestinian then tried to seize the coordinator's rifle; the coordinator fired toward his legs and detained him. Soldiers took the suspect into custody for further questioning, while secondary reports said no Israelis were wounded.
