Suspected Jewish extremists vandalize Palestinian village following outpost evacuation
Israeli rioters set tires ablaze and blocked major roads to prevent security forces from removing illegal structures near Salfit, leading to 18 arrests.
Early Tuesday morning, in the West Bank village of Majdal Bani Fadil, located south of Nablus, suspected Jewish extremists allegedly carried out a series of violent acts against Palestinian property. The perpetrators set fire to two vehicles parked outside of private residences, spray-painted graffiti on village walls, and damaged Palestinian-owned vehicles. The identities of the vehicle owners, Wadi Zein al-Din and Alaa Zein al-Din, were reported by Palestinian news agency WAFA.
This incident followed the Israeli evacuation of an illegal outpost in the West Bank on Monday. Israeli rioters had attempted to disrupt security forces attempting to remove the outpost earlier in the day, setting tires ablaze and establishing roadblocks that impeded traffic and caused tension between Israeli citizens and security personnel.
During the security operation, eighteen Israelis were arrested, and several vehicles containing weapons and flammable materials were confiscated. The suspects were subsequently transferred to the Judea and Samaria District Police for further questioning.
