IDF raids outpost, arrests two after Jewish rioters torch Palestinian cars - report

Shortly after the raid was reported, SSF claimed that Arab terrorists from Beit Ummar had driven to the nearby settler farm Gafan Ami and set an Israeli vehicle on fire.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a raid on an illegal West Bank outpost, seizing equipment and arresting two Israeli citizens suspected of involvement in a violent incident. According to Army Radio, Jewish rioters, originating from the outpost, entered the Palestinian town of Beit Ummar and set fire to several Palestinian-owned vehicles.

The IDF confiscated around 10 pieces of work equipment, including an excavator and an all-terrain vehicle, from the outpost, named Gefen Ami. This raid is part of the military's enforcement action against illegal settlements and its "economic campaign" to address violence motivated by nationalism. Following the raid, United Hatzalah of Judea and Samaria shared footage of a burning car, claiming it was ignited by Arabs from Beit Ummar who had traveled to the settler farm Gafen Ami. The Jerusalem Post has contacted the IDF for a response.
