No arrests yet in last night’s settler rampages; cop who shot rioters held

Israel has yet to make any arrests in the latest settler rampages last night in the northern West Bank.

Israeli assailants attacked the villages of Jinsafut and al-Funduq, setting fire to homes and vehicles.

Two of the suspects were shot and badly injured by a police officer.

That officer was detained for questioning before being released to house arrest.

Israel’s failure to rein in settler violence led the US to begin issuing sanctions against violent extremists in the West Bank last year. That regime was ended by US President Donald Trump on his first day of office yesterday.
