Israeli police arrested seven Palestinian suspects Sunday morning in connection with a violent incident at Havat Moreh, a farm outpost near Beitar Illit in the Judean Hills, during which an Israeli citizen was assaulted with a club. The suspects were taken for questioning on suspicion of involvement in the attack. During a search of the scene, police said they found and seized weapons and flammable materials hidden among bushes.
The arrest comes amid a broader pattern of violence against Israelis in Judea and Samaria. In recent weeks, The Zioneer has reported on several similar incidents: on July 17, two Israeli shepherds were lightly wounded in a stone attack near Ma'ale T'dhar; on July 16, seven suspects were arrested in a brawl in Beit Safafa in Jerusalem; and on July 19, six suspects were arrested in connection with a stabbing and shooting in Usfiya. The investigation into the Havat Moreh incident is ongoing.
