Herzog condemns settler arson attack in West Bank, urges authorities to eradicate unchecked phenomenon

President Isaac Herzog condemns the latest settler attack that took place today in the West Bank, calling the assailants “a handful of violent and dangerous individuals.”

“Such violence against civilians and against IDF soldiers crosses a red line and I condemn it,” Herzog tweets.

“All state authorities must act decisively to eradicate the phenomenon and to strengthen the IDF fighters and security forces who protect us day and night,” he adds.

Four suspects were arrested in the attack, but convictions in such cases are highly rare.
