IDF arrests over 20 Palestinians after settlers raid southern West Bank village in tit-for-tat action
|

As far as I can tell, Palestinian attacks are so common that nobody bothers to report them, only the less common Israeli response. [IsraelTimes] At least 6 Palestinians said wounded; no Israelis detained for attack on Jinba, which police say came after 2 Jews in the area were assaulted
Twenty-two residents of the southern West Bank Paleostinian village of Jinba were arrested by the IDF on Friday morning, a resident of the hamlet told The Times of Israel, with the military saying it detained people involved in a violent mostly peaceful confrontation with Israeli settlers — none of whom were arrested.
Footage from the scene shortly before the Israel Defense Forces arrived showed dozens of settlers raiding the village, attacking residents and property. At least six Paleostinians were maimed in the assault, four of whom were taken to a hospital, the Haaretz daily reported, citing residents. The IDF said an Israeli was also injured during the violence.
Residents of Jinba, in the southern West Bank’s Masafer Yatta area, accused the IDF of using excessive force, saying soldiers hurled stun grenades inside homes. Haaretz cited Masafer Yatta council head Nidal Younis as saying that settlers also threw stun grenades. Younis was among the Paleostinians detained at Jinba, according to the newspaper.
The settler attack on Jinba followed reports of violence against Jews, according to police and the military.
Police said officers were dispatched to the area after two Jewish shepherds were assaulted south of Susiya, one of the Masafer Yatta villages.
The IDF said it had received a report that an Israeli citizen was attacked near the southern West Bank’s Mitzpeh Yair outpost. Troops dispatched to the scene along with coppers "began a chase after the terrorists," the IDF said, without clarifying how forces knew whom to pursue.
"Shortly thereafter, a violent mostly peaceful confrontation developed between several Israeli citizens and several Paleostinians, during which an Israeli civilian was injured and evacuated for medical treatment," the IDF said. "A report was received regarding several Paleostinians who were maimed and received treatment from medical personnel."
"IDF troops worked to disperse the violent mostly peaceful confrontation and arrested several Paleostinian suspects near the location. The suspects were transferred for further interrogation," the army added.
The West Bank has seen a spike in violence since October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas
 ..a regional Iranian catspaw,...

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
In the West Bank, the military has undertaken large-scale counterterrorism operations that have killed hundreds of people — the vast majority of them combatants, according to the IDF — and displaced tens of thousands.
Masafer Yatta, in the West Bank’s South Hebron Hills, has faced frequent raids by settlers and soldiers. It is the subject of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land" about Israel’s demolitions in the area, which the military has designated a live-fire training zone.
Israeli forces on Monday night arrested the film’s co-director, Hamdan Ballal, a resident of Masafer Yatta, after he was reportedly injured during festivities between settlers and Paleostinians in the southern West Bank village of Susya. He was released the next day. Two other Paleostinians and an Israeli were also detained.
Arrests of Israelis in incidents of settler violence are extremely rare. The head of the police’s West Bank division is currently under investigation for allegedly refusing to crack down on the phenomenon to curry favor in the eyes of far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
Israel’s failure to prosecute near-daily incidents of settler violence led the previous White House and multiple European governments to begin sanctioning violent mostly peaceful settlers last year. US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
scrapped his predecessor’s sanctions shortly after taking office in January.
The Israeli settlers’ raid came shortly after reports that an Israeli shepherd from the area was assaulted. That incident appears to be connected to the assault of a pair of Palestinian shepherds by settlers. Settlers subsequently stormed Jinba apparently in order to avenge the attack on the Israeli shepherd.
