Settler Violence

Prosecutors indicted Ariel Dahari for a racially motivated assault on Palestinian harvesters near Turmus Aiya, seeking to keep him in custody until trial.

The minor took part in an organized raid in the Beit Lid area near Tulkarm, in which rioters torched vehicles and buildings, vandalized property, and carried out severe assaults on civilians.

Topics to be discussed at the session will include attaching ankle monitors to those found to already have restraining orders.

Katz's condemnation came months after a spike in such attacks, six days after a new mass attack last week, and after yet another mass attack earlier Monday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, several government officials, and opposition figures condemned the Jewish extremists who rioted in the West Bank on Monday.

The manhunt developed as a somewhat unusual event, given that lately the IDF only arrived at the scene of Jewish violence toward Palestinians in order to end and disrupt that violence.

Israeli forces were dispatched to the scene of the riot, carried out in response to an earlier demolition of an illegal settlement outpost in the Judean hills.

The public silence of Netanyahu, Katz, and Ben-Gvir points to the only plausible conclusion: The government is part of the problem, not the solution.

Netanyahu addressed the recent spike in West Bank Jewish settler violence, stressing the large majority of settlers are law-abiding and loyal to the state.

The opening of police investigations into incidents of West Bank settler violence has been dropping despite increasing attacks against Palestinian villages, mosques, and farms.
