After dozens of settlers attack Palestinian village of Duma, IDF says it dispersed ‘violent confrontation’

After a group of some 50 Israeli settlers entered the Palestinian West Bank village of Duma earlier this evening, setting fire to property and attacking residents, the military says troops and police officers worked to disperse a “violent confrontation” between Israelis and Palestinians.

In a statement, the IDF says it received reports that dozens of Israelis entered Duma and set fire to property.

“Afterward, a violent confrontation developed between Israeli civilians and Palestinians in the area, and additional report was received regarding several Palestinians who were injured in the incident,” the IDF says.

It says troops and police officers reached the scene and worked to “disperse the violent confrontation.”

“The IDF condemns incidents of this type and will continue to act with determination to maintain security and order in the region,” the military adds.

There are no reports of arrests in the incident. Five suspects were briefly caught by police, but defense sources say they managed to escape.
