The spokesperson for the Israeli military issued a strong condemnation on Saturday of a "serious incident of violence" in the Benjamin region of the West Bank, where diplomatic representatives were reportedly assaulted by Israeli rioters. Police and forensic investigators from the West Bank, accompanied by soldiers, were dispatched to the scene to gather evidence and take witness statements as part of an ongoing investigation.
The military noted that the consular visit was not coordinated with the IDF, a step deemed necessary to prevent such incidents. An initial investigation indicated that no IDF soldiers were present at the location when the assault occurred. The military's operations room, which receives reports from security personnel, was notified, but it does not handle civilian complaints. The military stated that alternative channels exist for civilians to file complaints and that all circumstances surrounding the incident will be examined.
