3 settlers arrested for violence against IDF soldiers in Yitzhar

The IDF says it has arrested three Yitzhar residents during clashes surrounding the demolition of an illegal structure in the West Bank settlement.

According to an IDF spokesperson, a number Yitzhar residents hurled abuse, blocked roads and pelted soldiers with rocks during the operation.

The army says the detained Yitzhar residents have been handed over to police.

Yitzhar is seen as a center of the extreme right-wing Hilltop Youth, and residents there have a history of confrontations with the army and police.
