Arsons and threats in Palestinian villages in the West Bank: far-right activists arrived at the villages of Al-Mughayyir and Deir Nidham, set vehicles on fire, including those of network journalists Andrey Kharzhonovsky and Adel Shoko, and sprayed graffiti with threats against Shin Bet chief David Zini and Central Command Major General Avi Blot. Correspondent Avi Ashkenazi harshly criticizes the IDF's weakness, claiming that dealing with nationalist crime is lacking due to political pressure from right-wing ministers, and mentions the confrontation of Minister Orit Strock with the Shin Bet chief in the cabinet. It also reports on a daylight attack in the village of Usarin last Saturday, where dozens of settlers smashed windows and wounded a resident, and on the failure of security forces to disperse rioters in the village of Jalud and allow a Palestinian family to return to their home. Only three suspects were arrested. The article reflects criticism of government policy and IDF conduct regarding settler violence.
