Following a nighttime incident in which suspects from the West Bank village of Zurif threw stones and set vehicles on fire near the settlement of Bat Ayin, IDF troops and the West Bank district police launched a brigade-level operation in the village, the military says.
Two suspects were arrested and dozens of locations were searched. According to the IDF, an investigation has been launched and efforts to locate additional perpetrators and secure the area are ongoing.
In contrast, recent weeks have seen dozens of similar incidents of violence carried out by settlers against Palestinians, with Israeli law enforcement doing little to stop them.
