Four Arrested in Connection with Attack on Border Police and Arson in Palestinian Village

Four suspects were arrested on Wednesday in connection with a violent riot, an attack on security forces, and the arson of a structure in the Palestinian village of Jalud, located in the Samaria region. The incident occurred in September when IDF and Border Police units were operating to return a family to their home following a High Court of Justice ruling. During the riot, security forces were attacked, and several Border Police officers were injured and evacuated for medical treatment. An investigation was launched by the inter-organizational command in the Judea and Samaria district, in cooperation with the Shin Bet security agency. Police forces, forensic investigators, and the Shin Bet, secured by the IDF, arrived at the scene to collect evidence and testimonies. Following investigative actions, four suspects were apprehended. Two of the suspects, minors aged 16 and 17 from Jerusalem and Netivot, were brought before a court and released under restrictive conditions, including a 60-day ban from the area. The other two suspects, aged 21 and 25 and residents of Samaria, were arrested and detained. They are expected to appear in court later. The investigation is ongoing.
