Suspects attempt to torch police post in Beit El settlement after arrests over settler attack

Police report that a structure used by the force in the West Bank settlement of Beit El was vandalized overnight, in apparent revenge for the arrest of several settlers for attacking IDF troops.

The assailants tried to torch the police post, causing damage to the door, and spray-painted “revenge fire” on it.

There are no reports of injuries.

Police say officers were dispatched “to locate the lawbreakers,” adding that an investigation was opened.

“This is a grave and violent incident, which constitutes a clear crossing of a red line against the rule of law and sovereignty,” says a statement from the force.
