West Bank Violence

“It cannot be that during a multi-front war, the IDF is forced to contend with a threatening minority from within. These are rioters who do not represent the settlement movement," Zamir said.

The woman was deported after being involved with a security incident in which a Jewish settler hit a 5-year-old Palestinian child with the side mirror of his vehicle.

Two of the Palestinians killed by the Israeli civilians were reportedly shot, while a third died of suffocation due to inhalation of tear gas.

The extremists were also suspected to have sprayed graffiti on the walls, writing several slogans such as "price tag" and "revenge".

The case refers to the violent November attack on the Palestinian village of Jaba that erupted hours after security forces evacuated the unauthorized outpost of Tzur Misgabi in the Gush Etzion.

The IDF reported that, during investigations of the surrounding area, a vehicle with Israeli plates was found containing blunt weapons. The vehicle was confiscated by the district police.

The IDF has been active east of the Yellow Line in northern Gaza throughout the month of January, dismantling terrorist infrastructure and targeting known terrorists.

The three detainees were among a larger mob of masked settlers. Two Palestinians were wounded as a result of the incident and were evacuated for medical treatment.

The IDF and border police responded to a report of masked Israeli settlers throwing rocks at Palestinian cars and burning tires near the Shilo junction.

"They stole my passport, my phone, my wallet, my bank cards, and then they left," one of the alleged victims said while describing the beating.
