Israelis arrested for attacking Palestinians after security forces intervene
Earlier today, IDF forces rushed to the area of the villages of Beit Lid and Deir Sharaf – located west of Shechem (Nablus) – following a report of dozens of masked Israeli civilians attacking Palestinians and setting property on fire.
Security forces used riot control measures to disperse the events, detaining and arresting a number of Israeli civilians.
During the incident, four Palestinians were injured and evacuated for medical treatment, and property was damaged.
Later, a report was received of a gathering of dozens of civilians near the Brown Industrial Area, where the masked civilians fled. IDF forces rushed to the scene, where Israeli civilians attacked the forces and vandalised a military vehicle.
The IDF said it “strongly condemns violence of any kind that distracts commanders and fighters from their duties of defense and counterterrorism.”
