Two Israeli settlers were detained over their suspected involvement in attacks on Palestinians in several West Bank villages overnight, the IDF says.
The military says it received reports of “violent rioting” in Turmus Ayya, Sinjil, and Ein Sinya, during which “a number of Israeli citizens set fire to a house and property in the area.”
IDF troops and police officers were dispatched to the villages moments after receiving the reports, the military says, adding that the forces used riot dispersal means.
“The forces are working to locate and arrest those involved. So far, two suspects have been detained for involvement in the rioting,” the army adds.
