Israelis, likely from settlements in the northern West Bank, dismantle and make off with a fence put up by Palestinian farmers around their land at the outskirts of the village of Burin in Area B of the West Bank.
In video footage taken by a researcher for the Yesh Din organization, which campaigns against the settlements, two young men wearing tzitzit, one of whom is also wearing a yarmulke, can be seen rolling up the chain link fence and carrying it off.
According to Yesh Din, the incident was reported to the District Coordination and Liaison of the COGAT Defense Ministry agency, which coordinates between the IDF and the Palestinian authorities, but no military or law enforcement officials arrived to deal with the issue.
Residents of Burin have frequently faced harassment and violence from extremist settlers in the area. On Saturday, stones were thrown by youths towards homes in Burin in full view of IDF soldiers who took no action against the stone throwers.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
