Overview
- Dozens of masked settlers set vehicles, fields and buildings ablaze in Beit Lid and Deir Sharaf, with damage to the Al-Juneidi dairy facility and several trucks documented on video.
- The IDF reported four Palestinians injured and said the mob later attacked soldiers and damaged a military vehicle as forces moved in to disperse the crowd.
- Police initially said four Israeli suspects were arrested; by Wednesday three were released while one minor remained in custody for six days as ordered by a judge.
- President Isaac Herzog called the violence “shocking and serious,” and Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth condemned an “anarchist fringe,” instructing troops to prevent nationalist crimes.
- The UN recorded at least 264 settler-related incidents in October, the highest monthly total since 2006, as rights groups and Palestinians allege security forces often fail to stop such attacks.
