Four Zionist soldiers injured in roadside bomb near Nablus

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Aug 31 (YPA) – Palestinian resistance fighters have set off an explosive device in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, injuring four Zionist soldiers, Palestinian media reported.

The Nablus battalion of the al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad resistance movement, said in a statement that its members had carried out “a precise ambush on an occupation ground force” near Joseph’s Tomb compound on Wednesday night.

The occupation forces had raided Nablus to escort the entry of hundreds of settlers to Joseph’s Tomb compound.

Videos and images circulated online showed a large column of smoke rising after the blast.

The Zionist military said an officer and three soldiers were wounded as they walked past the explosive device when it went off.
