IDF says it is searching for perpetrators of latest settler attack on Palestinians in West Bank

The IDF says it has launched a pursuit of dozens of Israelis who launched an attack on a West Bank Palestinian village this evening.

According to the IDF, the incident is tied to the evacuation and demolition of an illegal outpost near the settlement of Efrat earlier today.

The military says that “after the evacuation of the illegal structures… IDF, Border Police, and Israel Police forces rushed to the village of Jaba following a report that dozens of Israeli civilians had set fire to and vandalized homes and vehicles in the area.”

“Security forces are searching for those involved; the incident is still ongoing,” the army says.

“The IDF views all violence of any kind gravely and condemns it, as it harms security in the area,” the military says, adding that such “acts of violence divert the attention of commanders and soldiers from defense and counterterrorism missions.”
