A Jerusalem court extends the remand of an Israeli settler suspected of assaulting troops in the West Bank town of Huwara last night.
Police say the settler, who is a soldier himself, will remain held until tomorrow at least.
The military has said settlers maced four soldiers, including the commanding officer of the 202nd Paratrooper Battalion, as the troops attempted to stop them from hurling stones at Palestinian cars in the area.
The incident has drawn outrage from many lawmakers and officials across the political spectrum.
