Three Border Police Officers Injured in Palestinian Village Violence

Three Border Police officers sustained light injuries during violent riots in the Palestinian village of Jalud in the West Bank. The disturbances, involving approximately 100 individuals, occurred after Israeli forces attempted to return a Palestinian family to their home. Rioters blocked roads, set tires ablaze, and hurled stones at security forces, also setting fire to Palestinian property and vehicles within the village.

Authorities have arrested three suspects in connection with the violence. An 18-year-old resident of Jerusalem was apprehended by police, and his vehicle was seized. Two additional suspects, aged 15 and 17, residents of northern Israel and the Benjamin region respectively, were arrested by IDF forces and are being questioned. Police have also confiscated two vehicles.

In parallel incidents reported by Palestinian sources, dozens of right-wing activists allegedly attacked and set fire to the home of Musa Abu Aliya and several vehicles in the village of al-Mughayyir, north of Ramallah. This occurred during an IDF raid on the village and the arrest of a resident. The activists also spray-painted slogans on buildings, including "Happy Sukkot, and revenge." IDF forces arrived at al-Mughayyir but no arrests have been made there yet.

The Israeli security establishment condemned the violence, stating that any harm to security personnel, vandalism, or property damage distracts from security operations and undermines stability. An inter-organizational investigation has been launched by the Judea and Samaria district police, with the Shin Bet and forensic investigators preparing to enter Jalud under IDF security to collect evidence and gather testimonies. Police stated their intention to use all available resources to locate and prosecute all extremist rioters involved.
