Senior security officials have warned settler leaders that continued rampages by Jewish extremists through Palestinian towns and villages could spark another intifada, Channel 12 reports.
According to the report, the officials warned that mounting Palestinian anger over the riots, in which dozens of homes and cars have been set on fire, could lead to “a lynching, a kidnapping or a fresh intifada,” or uprising.
They called on settler leaders to restrain more volatile elements of the community.
