Israeli police launched an investigation on Saturday following reports of violent attacks and property damage in the Palestinian village of Uziin, located in the Samaria region of the West Bank. Video footage shows Jewish rioters damaging vehicles and throwing stones at a Palestinian home. Police and forensic investigators, accompanied by IDF forces, entered the scene in Uziin, which is in Area B, to collect evidence and take witness testimonies.
Earlier in the week, over 100 Israelis reportedly rioted in the village of Jalud in the Benjamin region, throwing stones at security forces and setting fire to Palestinian structures, vehicles, and property. Three Border Police officers sustained light injuries, and a security forces vehicle was damaged during that incident.
Disagreements have emerged between security agencies regarding the handling of the Jalud incident. The police and Shin Bet claim that the IDF did not coordinate the return of families to Jalud with them, stating that prior coordination would have allowed for better preparation and prevention of some rioters from reaching the village. The IDF countered that the police have never handled ongoing nationalist crime incidents and are currently focused only on proactive arrests.
