Israeli army detains ‘several’ settlers after arson attack in West Bank
The Israeli army says it has detained “several Israeli civilians” following an arson attack by Israeli settlers on the al-Lada’in industrial zone near Beit Lid in the occupied West Bank.
The army statement said four Palestinians were injured in the attack and condemned the incident. Settlers often act under the protection of Israeli forces, and in other cases, the army does not take action against the violence they carry out against Palestinians.
Aida Touma-Sliman, a Palestinian member of Israel’s parliament, called the attacks “Terror under military sponsorship and government blessing” in a post on X.
The statement added that the individuals allegedly involved in the initial incident fled to the nearby Baron Industrial Zone, where they then attacked Israeli soldiers and damaged a military vehicle.
You mean, they were detained after they attacked Israeli soldiers...

Palestinian boy dies month after Israeli tear gas attack during olive harvest
A 13-year-old Palestinian boy has died one month after Israeli forces fired tear gas at him while harvesting olives with his family.
Aysam Jihad Labib Naser died on November 11, following the October 11 attack in Beita, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank. His death comes as this year’s olive harvest has become the most violent since UN agencies began tracking settler violence in 2013.
Israeli soldiers fired multiple tear gas canisters directly at Aysam as he fled, causing him to choke severely and collapse. He remained in cardiac intensive care until his death.
“Aysam should have been able to pick olives with his family in peace,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish of Defense for Children International – Palestine.
“Targeting a child who poses absolutely no threat to a soldier’s life is shockingly routine for Israeli soldiers, who are never held accountable for killing Palestinian children,” he added.
