A series of coordinated attacks by Arab rioters struck new settlement outposts in the Binyamin and Samaria regions of Judea and Samaria on Monday evening, according to a partial summary from the rescue organization Hatzala Yehuda veShomron. At the outpost south of Deir Abu Mash'al, dozens of rioters set fires and attacked residents with clubs and stones, lightly wounding two people. At the outpost north-west of Beitilu, dozens more attacked with fireworks, fires, and stones, lightly wounding one resident. Both outposts are recently established. Separately, Arab assailants near the Elhai Farm above Sebastia attacked a shepherd with clubs and a firearm; the shepherd was unharmed, and three of the attackers were arrested. An additional incident involved a Palestinian on a motorcycle who arrived at Nahalat Ben Yishai near Road 437 east of Anatot, threw stones at residents, and fled. The attacks follow a pattern of escalating violence against Jewish settlement activity in the area, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The IDF presence in the region has faced criticism from local leaders citing insufficient response to such riots.
