A week after the deadly gunfight in the West Bank village of Tell, Israeli settlers this morning again conducted a hike through the outskirts of the Palestinian village.
Tell is located in areas A and B of the West Bank, normally off-limits for Israelis.
Footage shows settlers walking through the outskirts of the village.
There are no reports of clashes during this morning’s hike.
It is unclear if the hike was approved by the army, and the IDF has not yet responded to a request for comment.

The Times of Israel has learned that the settlers are planning two “memorial hikes” today in the area around the village in memory of Benayahu Mellet, a resident of the Havat Gilad settlement who was killed in last week’s incident.
