Nine Palestinians Arrested After Clashes Near Migron Farm in Gush Etzion
On Thursday night, over 30 Palestinians attacked Jewish residents near the Migron Farm in the Gush Etzion area, leading to violent clashes. The incident began with a dispute over an illegal structure adjacent to the farm, which Jewish residents claimed was taken over by Bedouins who also cut off the water supply. The confrontation escalated when Bedouins called reinforcements, bringing more than 30 Palestinian rioters from the nearby village of Al-Minya.
During the clashes, two Jewish residents were injured and evacuated to the hospital, along with two other individuals who sustained minor injuries. Israeli police from the Judea and Samaria district intervened, arresting nine Palestinians overnight. A security officer from a nearby farm fired warning shots into the air to disperse the rioters and was later questioned and released. Israeli Defense Forces, police, and Border Police forces were deployed to separate the groups and restore order.
The situation remains tense as authorities continue to investigate the incident and maintain a presence in the area to prevent further violence.
