The police and Shin Bet say that eight Israeli settlers were detained for attacking security forces and Palestinians and causing damage to property in the northern West Bank overnight and this morning.
“At these moments, many investigative actions are being carried out, which include gathering evidence, collecting findings from the scenes as well as questioning the suspects,” a joint statement says.
The suspects are being questioned by the police’s West Bank district and the Shin Bet.
The incidents began after Israeli authorities evacuated an illegal settler outpost near Nablus. In the following hours, settlers stormed the Palestinian villages of Beit Furik and Huwara, where they attacked residents and set fire to property. The suspects also attacked Israeli forces, wounding two Border Police officers.
