Text:
⭕Overnight, IDF soldiers & Israel Border Police forces operated in the area of Jalud in Judea & Samaria to disperse Israeli rioters and protect the residents of the area, as the return of a Palestinian family to their home in the area had been coordinated.
The rioters blocked roads, set fires, structures & vehicles on fire and hurled rocks toward security forces, injuring 3 Israel Border Police officers.
Forces apprehended 2 suspects, who were transferred for questioning. Later the security forces will enter the area to collect findings and evidence as part of the investigation that has been launched.
PM blames 'small number' of West Bank rioters as mass settler attack draws wide condemnation
[IsraelTimes] Some right-wing politicians echo Netanyahu’s rare rebuke of settler violence, after over 100 extremists attack Jalud; top settlement leader calls for police crackdown on attacks
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday condemned the massive overnight attack and riot by Jewish bandidos gunnies in the West Bank, calling for the perpetrators to be persecuted "to the fullest extent of the law," while downplaying the attack as being perpetrated by a "small number" of people.
More than 100 Israeli settlers took part in the attack on the West Bank village of Jalud, near Nablus, preventing Israeli forces from enabling a displaced Paleostinian family to return to their home. The army said the attackers were "blocking roads, setting tires on fire, and throwing stones at security forces," injuring three Border Police officers and causing widespread property damage in Jalud. Three suspects had been arrested as of Tuesday afternoon.
Though security forces said the number of bandidos gunnies involved in the attack exceeded 100, Netanyahu placed blame on a "small number of rioters," which he said "does not represent the law-abiding settler community in Judea and Samaria," referring to the West Bank.
"They do it a grave injustice and interfere with our forces as they carry out their mission," he said.
Netanyahu has regularly downplayed settler violence as a marginal concern, claiming that nearly all incidents are the work of a few hundred wayward youths, despite attacks taking place on a near-daily basis and occurring in hundreds of villages and towns across the West Bank.
"I stand behind the IDF and Border Police personnel who are working to thwart terrorism and protect security," he continued, "and I call on law enforcement authorities to prosecute the rioters to the fullest extent of the law."
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar also condemned the attack on Jalud, calling it "grave and abhorrent."
"Anyone who commits these criminal offenses and assaults Border Police fighters and IDF soldiers, and even harms them, are criminals who must be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law," Sa’ar wrote on X. "They harm our values. They harm Jewish settlement. They harm Israel."
Defense Minister Israel Katz joined in the chorus of condemnation against the attack, though he also downplayed it as being perpetrated by a "handful of rioters."
"Precisely here, in the face of this important security activity, the severity of the actions of a handful of rioters... who attacked security forces and set fire to Paleostinian homes and property stands out," he said during a visit to the West Bank with Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth, accusing the rioters of undermining the soldiers’ mission.
Katz said the violent mostly peaceful settlers are "hindering efforts to thwart Paleostinian terrorism, diverting forces from their missions, and seriously harming security efforts, the settlement enterprise, and the State of Israel."
"I strongly condemn these criminal acts. This handful of rioters does not represent the settler community, and decisive action must be taken against them, and those responsible must be brought to justice," he added.
Also issuing condemnation of the Jalud attack was top settlement leader Yisrael Ganz, who called for Israel to crack down on the phenomenon with all its law enforcement capabilities. The statement marked a rare instance of criticism of the phenomenon coming from inside the movement.
"Incidents like what happened overnight can and must be prevented," said Ganz, who heads the Binyamin Regional Council in the central West Bank, and also leads the Yesha settlement umbrella group.
"The state has powers and tools to stop this phenomenon, and it needs to use them," he said, urging the prosecution of those responsible, even as he appeared to point a finger at law enforcement for failing to do so.
"The law must be enforced in [the West Bank] exactly as it is enforced in Tel Aviv or Kfar Saba," he said.
Tubasi family home had been taken over by settlers since July
The attack happened as the IDF attempted to return the Tubasi family to their home, after they were forced to leave in July following repeated harassment and violence by settlers. In September, the High Court of Justice ordered that their safe return be ensured, in a scathing decision that castigated authorities for failing to crack down on the attacks.
Mahmoud Tubasi, the homeowner, said his house has been occupied by settlers since July. He told The Times of Israel on Tuesday that around midnight, the Civil Administration called the family and told them they would be able to return to their home.
"My wife, my son and I went to the house in the car, accompanied by an army vehicle in front of us and another behind us," he told AFP.
Settlers attacked the group upon their arrival at the house and were pushed back by soldiers with pepper spray, he added.
"We were not physically injured, but we suffered some choking from the pepper spray," Tubasi said.
According to Tubasi, the Paleostinians escaped without injury because IDF troops rescued them during the incident and moved them into a military vehicle.
In a separate attack Tuesday, dozens of settlers from hilltop outposts raided the Paleostinian village of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, residents told AFP.
An AFP journalist saw at least five burnt-out cars as a result.
Al-Mughayyir is the scene of frequent attacks due to its isolated location and the presence of several settlement outposts around it.
In another separate incident in the town of Beitunia near Ramallah, dozens of settlers came to hold a prayer for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot using loudspeakers, Mayor Ribhi Dawla told AFP.
"This gathering is a dangerous precedent," he said. "There are ambitions for settlements in the area, they placed a caravan in the western part of the town and installed an iron gate."
Settler violence in the West Bank has risen sharply since the Hamas
 ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
-led onslaught of October 7, 2023, that sparked the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
The attacks occur daily but perpetrators are rarely caught or prosecuted. Critics accuse the government of condoning and even encouraging the violence, which has led to the displacement of dozens of Paleostinian families.
