Jerusalem, 12 Nov. (LaPresse/AP) – Dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked two Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, setting fire to vehicles and other property before clashing with Israeli soldiers sent to stop their rampage, Israeli and Palestinian officials said. This is the latest in a series of attacks by young settlers in the West Bank. Israeli police said they arrested four Israelis for what they called ‘extremist violence,’ while the Israeli army reported that four Palestinians were injured. Police and the Shin Bet internal security service said they had launched an investigation. Videos posted on social media show two charred trucks engulfed in flames and a nearby building on fire.
