1 NEW100 Israeli Settlers Block Army's Effort to Return Palestinian Family ⚔️ War Sep 29, 12:43 AM EDT 4/3
Three Border Police officers sustained light injuries overnight when Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian homes and clashed with security forces in the West Bank. More than 100 rioters in the village of Jalud blocked roads and hurled stones to prevent the Tubasi family from returning to their home, which they had fled in July due to settler harassment. The Israeli military stated that the unrest prevented the mission from being completed and resulted in the destruction of cars and other property.
Israeli police have detained three suspects including an 18 year old from Jerusalem and two minors aged 15 and 17. Officers seized a vehicle containing balaclavas and a club during a search for those who participated in the arson and rioting. Police and Shin Bet investigators are now entering the village under army escort to collect evidence and testimony, while the security establishment condemned the attacks as a hindrance to counterterrorism activities.
