Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWhile the IDF has yet to comment on tonight’s deadly settler rampage in the Palestinian village of Kafr Malik, Hebrew media cites an Israeli security official who confirms that dozens of settlers took part in the attack during which they set fire to buildings and vehicles, clashed with residents and spray-painted hate messages on walls across the village.
The security official says Israeli troops arrived at the scene and opened fire under circumstances still under investigation.
Three Palestinians were shot dead during the settler rampage, according to the Palestinian Authority health ministry.
The security official says the incident is still ongoing and that Israeli troops have yet to gain control of the situation.
