Last update - 01:02 04/04/2008 Palestinian hurt trying to grab IDF soldier's gun near Hebron By Haaretz Service Tags: palestinians, IDF, israel  An Israel Defense Forces soldier shot and lightly wounded a Palestinian on Thursday after the man tried to snatch his gun in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba. The incident occurred while several Palestinians threw stones at the IDF troops, who were attempting to deter them. In the ensuing scuffle the man tried to grab one of the soldiers' guns and was shot. The injured Palestinian was taken by ambulance to the Red Crescent hospital in Hebron for treatment. Advertisement A similar attack last year resulted in the death of an Israeli Arab who successfully seized a security guard's rifle in Jerusalem and shot him in the shoulder before being fatally shot himself. Meanwhile, it was released for publication Thursday that two days ago, at the Tarqumiya Crossing east of Kiryat Gat, an Israeli truck was caught with 300 liters of sulfuric acid. It is prohibited to bring the acid into the West Bank because it could be used by terror organizations for the manufacture of weapons. An Israeli citizen entered Salifat, near Qalqilya Thursday and was detained by Palestinian security forces. He was later freed after the intervention of the civil administration in the West Bank and turned over to the Israel police for questioning. The military yesterday called on civilians not to enter Palestinian Authority territory, clarifying that this is illegal.
