Four Settlers Arrested in Jit Attack
News summary

Israeli police have arrested four individuals, including one minor, suspected of participating in a violent attack on the Palestinian village of Jit on August 15, which resulted in the death of one Palestinian and injuries to another. The assault involved over 100 settlers who used stones, Molotov cocktails, and live gunfire, drawing unusual condemnation from Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, who called it a 'severe terror event'. The increase in settler violence since the start of the Gaza conflict has led to international criticism, with calls from the U.S. and European nations for Israel to take action against such attacks. Human rights groups accuse Israeli forces of complicity in these assaults, as prosecutions for settlers are rare. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with the arrested suspects believed to be linked to multiple acts of terrorism against Palestinians. A separate incident involving another Israeli settler assault on Arab Israeli women has also been reported, highlighting the growing tensions in the region.
