Israeli Police Arrest 10 Over Settler Violence

Israeli police have detained 10 individuals in the occupied West Bank after settlers attacked an American photographer and a French mayor, prompting global backlash. The arrests represent a rare instance of Israeli authorities targeting settler violence, which has drawn consistent international criticism.

The operation included the seizure of vehicles and potential evidence tied to the attacks. Israeli police emphasized that the arrests were a direct response to the recent incidents of violence, which involved the assault of a media worker and suspected attacks on foreign civilians.

Major General Moshe Finchi, the Israeli police’s West Bank commander, stated that the arrest operation was conducted before dawn following the severe incidents of violence over the past weekend.
