Police Arrest Three Palestinians in Sa’ir Stone Attack, Seek Three More

Border Police arrested three Sa’ir residents overnight on suspicion of throwing stones at Israeli hikers during Friday’s attack near the Hebron-area town. Police identified the suspects as two brothers aged 51 and 45 and another man aged 46, and said all three were being questioned. Investigators are searching for three additional suspects and gathering intelligence on other participants. Police said the hikers faced a real danger, while the IDF said Israelis were injured by stones before troops dispersed the confrontation and removed the group; the hikers had entered the Area B vicinity without required military authorization or coordination.
