West Bank Clashes Injure Palestinians and Foreign Volunteers

Times of Israel reported at 17:26 IDT that Palestinians and foreign volunteers were injured near Abu Falah, north of Ramallah, during clashes with extremist Israeli settlers; footage showed stone throwing and pepper spray. The Reuters-syndicated report said local witnesses described settlers blocking residents who tried to reach farmland and reported at least one Palestinian man and one international activist injured. Times of Israel also reported separate claims of three Palestinians injured in Beitillu, while noting that the IDF detained eight Palestinian suspects in a separate Mukhmas attack on Israelis. Israel's security interest is clear: extremists must not endanger civilians or hand adversaries propaganda, and the IDF must enforce law against attackers on every side.
