Settlers attack West Bank village where terrorist who killed Tzeela Gez hailed from
A group of several dozen Israeli settlers burned cars in Bruqin, according to Hebrew and Palestinian media reports, a week after a terrorist from the West Bank village killed Tzeela Gez as she was headed to give birth.
Security sources quoted by Hebrew outlets say some 40 settlers took part in the attack, and deny reports that they also burned homes in Bruqin.
There are no immediate reports of arrests, which rarely occur after settler violence. An IDF statement quoted by the Haaretz daily says the suspects “already escaped” by the time Israeli troops arrived.
