Dozens of masked Israelis riot, hurl stones after illegal outpost evacuated, IDF says

Dozens of masked Israelis rioted and hurled stones at Palestinian motorists in the West Bank a short while ago, after authorities evacuated an illegal settler outpost in the area, the military and police say.

IDF troops and police officers were dispatched to an area near Shilo Junction, following reports of “dozens of masked Israeli civilians who were burning tires and throwing stones at Palestinian vehicles traveling on Route 60,” a joint statement says.

Another report was received of several masked Israelis setting fire to a Palestinian car and attacking the occupants, the army says. Israeli firefighters extinguished the blaze and are investigating the cause.

The IDF says it is aware of reports that a Palestinian girl suffering from smoke inhalation was evacuated by an Israeli passerby from the scene and received treatment by the Red Crescent at the entrance to the settlement of Eli.

As a result of the stone throwing, the military says several Palestinians were wounded, and damage was caused to a car.

“Security forces are currently searching the area for the suspects,” the IDF and police say, adding that they “condemn and act against violence of any kind.”
