Judea and Samaria police rescued an IDF soldier from the West Bank town of Tarqumiyah, following a report from security forces of a person in military uniform handcuffed in the center of the town.

The soldier, a resident of southern Israel serving in the IDF, was taken to the Hebron police station. A preliminary investigation found that the soldier was unarmed and had entered the West Bank with criminal intentions.

The Military Police Criminal Investigation Division is now investigating the case.

This is a developing story.
