The IDF says in response to a query by The Times of Israel that “forces were dispatched following a report of friction between Israeli civilians and Palestinians. Upon arrival, the forces acted to disperse the confrontation, and all those involved were dispersed”
Settlers were also filmed uprooting several olive trees from a Palestinian orchard in the South Hebron Hills.
In addition, footage shows extremist settlers throwing stones in the area of the village of Deir Jarir, near Ramallah. No injuries are reported in that incident.
