חוץ מזה – מתנחלים ניסו להצית רכב ומרפאה בכפר באזור רמאללה הלילה וחסמו כביש בדרום הר חברון ורכב פלסטיני (חונה) נופץ באזור שכם. לא ידוע על נפגעים. https://t.co/AQcIC7cXtD pic.twitter.com/aYBJa7rpup

The attacks came amid a surge in settler violence in the West Bank, with arrests rarer and indictments even rarer. Critics say that the overwhelming impunity enjoyed by the attackers demonstrates that the violence by extremists is sanctioned, if not encouraged by the government.
