An Israeli group entered the outskirts of Sa’ir on an unapproved, uncoordinated hike, where Palestinians threw stones and several people were injured, according to a military source. A security person who arrived then fired, wounding several Palestinians and killing one; Palestinian accounts instead alleged that one of the activists opened fire, leaving the shooter’s identity unresolved. A village home was later set alight, and IDF troops dispersed those involved without arrests. The IDF, Israel Police and Shin Bet are investigating the incident, with police investigators expected at the scene.
