JERUSALEM: The Israeli army reported on Sunday a spate of arson attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank the previous night.
“Last night, IDF and border police forces were dispatched to several Palestinian villages... following reports of Israeli civilians committing acts of arson against structures and property, as well as engaging in disturbances in the area,” the military said.
“The security forces condemn violence of any kind and will continue to act to maintain the security of residents and public order in the area.”
The Palestinian news agency WAFA said several Palestinians were injured in the attacks.
The incidents came after the army said an Israeli civilian died Saturday “following a report received regarding a Palestinian vehicle that hit an Israeli vehicle.”
