Armed Jewish rioters attacked Palestinians in the Hebron area

Armed Jewish rioters attacked Palestinians in the Hebron area during olive harvesting. Five Palestinians were injured. The IDF removed the rioters and imposed a closed military zone order.

In footage distributed today (Saturday) on Palestinian networks, masked Jews dressed in black are seen riding in a pickup truck armed with clubs, intending to attack Palestinians who came to harvest olives in the Hebron area. The incidents occurred in the afternoon near the Palestinian villages of Sa'ir and Beit Fajjar. The Jewish rioters attacked Palestinians and smashed car windows. Five Palestinians were injured in the incident. The IDF says that army and Border Police forces arrived at the scene, removed the Jewish rioters, and imposed a closed military zone order to restore order. Later, the Palestinians continued harvesting at the site. Shortly afterward, according to the IDF, dozens of masked Israeli rioters arrived at the scene in two vehicles. The forces returned to the scene, but the rioters fled before their arrival. Later, the soldiers identified two suspicious vehicles, fired into the air, and the vehicles carrying the Jewish rioters fled to an illegal outpost on a hill near Sa'ir. One of the vehicles was stolen and had a Palestinian license plate. The IDF spokesperson stated: "The IDF strongly condemns incidents in which Israeli rioters take the law into their own hands. Such incidents divert the attention of the forces, undermine stability, and harm the operational and counter-terrorism activity of the security forces."
