Police free all settlers detained in Wednesday’s deadly rampage of Palestinian village

Police released all five Israeli suspects who were detained in yesterday’s deadly settler rampage in the Palestinian village of Kafr Malik.

The suspects had been detained by Israeli troops before being transferred to police at a nearby station, where officers promptly released them and informed them that they were no longer suspects in the case, Haaretz reports.

No other suspects have been arrested.

Settler attacks on Palestinians throughout the West Bank have been taking place on a near-daily basis with almost complete impunity, in what has sparked mounting sanctions from Western governments.

The head of the Israel Police’s West Bank division is currently under investigation for ignoring settler violence to curry favor in the eyes of Ben Gvir. He was allowed to return to his post, despite the ongoing investigation.
