Two police officers sustained injuries, one with a broken nose and another with a broken arm, during a confrontation with settlers at the Mitzpe Jericho outpost near Jericho. A third officer was also injured, and a police vehicle was vandalized with a knife. No arrests have been made in connection with the assault on the officers, and the details of the incident, which occurred yesterday, were not initially released by the police.
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir arrived at the scene later. According to a police officer present, Ben-Gvir behaved aggressively and provocatively towards the officers, conspicuously ignoring them while addressing the crowd. The officer also reported that individuals in the crowd shouted "You are Nazis" at the police.
Ben-Gvir has denied these allegations, stating he merely arrived at the location incidentally while on his way to a memorial service in the area and was present on the periphery of the confrontation.
