IDF confirms settlers torched West Bank security installation: Damage poses ‘a danger to the security of the residents’

Israeli settlers torched a multi-million-shekel security installation used to “thwart terror attacks and maintain security” in the Ramallah area of the West Bank overnight, according to the IDF.

The military says damage to the site “poses a danger to the security of the residents.”

The incident came after a riot by settlers outside a nearby military base in the West Bank.

“The IDF condemns any act of violence against security forces and expects security forces to bring to justice Israeli civilians who harm security personnel who are carrying out their duty to protect Israeli citizens,” the military says in a statement, adding that it “will continue to focus on protecting civilians, while also enforcing the law and preventing any illegal activity, wherever it may occur.”
