Four Israelis arrested for attacking troops in West Bank, as 4 illegal outposts demolished

Four Israelis were arrested Wednesday for attacking Israeli troops in the West Bank on September 29, as Israeli forces demolished four illegal outposts. Separately, settlers allegedly set fire to vehicles and attacked Palestinian olive harvesters. Three Palestinian terror suspects were also arrested, and a 14-year-old Palestinian boy was shot dead by Israeli troops on Monday.

Four Israelis were arrested Wednesday over an attack on Israeli forces in the West Bank almost six weeks ago while troops were escorting a Palestinian family to their home. The arrests came a day after Israeli forces evacuated four illegal West Bank outposts that the IDF said were the source of repeated violent attacks on Palestinians. Police said that two teenagers from Jerusalem and Netivot and two northern West Bank settlers were detained over the September 29 attack. The teenagers, ages 16 and 17, were released under restrictive conditions, including a 60-day stay-away order. The two settlers, ages 21 and 25, will be brought before a judge later. More than 100 people took part in the attack, which left three Border Police officers lightly wounded. Separately, settlers allegedly set fire to vehicles in Luban ash-Sharqiya, and a Palestinian woman was injured by stones during an olive harvest attack. Three Palestinian terror suspects were also arrested. A 14-year-old Palestinian boy was shot dead by Israeli troops on Monday night.
