Israeli man injured by booby-trap bomb after kicking over Palestinian flag

An Israeli man was injured by a booby-trap bomb when he tried to remove a Palestinian flag on a roadside near a West Bank settlement.

Israeli and Palestinian media released footage on Sunday that shows the man walking toward the flag. He kicks the flag down, triggering an explosion.

Media reports say the device was buried in the ground and the man has minor injuries.

It is not clear when the incident happened.

Violence in the West Bank has been on the rise since the conflict between Israel and Hamas began in October last year.
