Far-right Jewish activists from the Yitzhar settlement tell the Kan public broadcaster that they disconnected the power to the nearby Palestinian village of Urif, the hometown of the two terrorists that killed four Israelis in a terror attack this week.

“We need to change the perception in the war on terror. Only civil pressure on the terrorists’ environs will lead to change,” one of them is quoted as saying.

The village’s municipality says it has been without power since last night.
