Jerusalem, July 14: The Israeli military says three Israelis have been injured after crashing their car in the West Bank.
The military had earlier said that Palestinians pelted their car with stones, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle and crash. But the military now says that was based on erroneous testimony from the men and that no stones were thrown.
One of the men was seriously injured. All three were taken to an Israeli hospital for treatment.
The men were returning Tuesday from praying at an ancient grave site near the West Bank town of Qalqiliya. The military says they entered the Palestinian area without permission, putting themselves at risk. Israelis are barred from entering Palestinian-controlled zones without an army escort.
