Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned what he called violent rioting by Israelis in the area of the Palestinian village of Jalud, which left three security forces personnel lightly injured on Monday night.

Netanyahu wrote on X:

“I strongly condemn the violent riots last night in the Samaria region and the harm inflicted on the security forces who arrived at the scene to maintain law and order.

“The handful of rioters does not represent the law-abiding settler community in Judea and Samaria, does them a grave injustice, and hinders our forces in fulfilling their mission. I stand behind the IDF and Border Police fighters who are working to thwart terrorism and safeguard security, and I call on law enforcement authorities to apply the full severity of the law against the rioters.”
