The statement said that the Israeli man was attacked by suspects who pepper-sprayed him, then allegedly removed his partner from the car and sped away. The woman reportedly sustained a minor injury in the incident.
The police reiterated that Israelis are barred from entering Area A – parts of the West Bank that are under the Palestinian Authority's control.
