'The battalion commander is a traitor' sign seen at violent settler protest outside IDF base

A photo from outside the Binyamin Regional Brigade military base in the West Bank, where dozens of Jewish extremists are violently demonstrating, shows members of the crowd holding up a sign declaring “the battalion commander is a traitor,” referring to the head of a reserve unit who was assaulted by settlers on Friday.

A military source cited by Hebrew media outlets says some of the settlers tried to break into the base and threw rocks and sprayed mace toward troops.
