More than 10 masked Jewish rioters were recorded on cameras raiding the village of Khirbat al-Tawwana in the southern Hebron Hills overnight, setting fire to property and fleeing, according to reports. No injuries or arrests have been reported.
New video footage from Khirbat al-Tawwana in the southern Hebron Hills shows more than 10 masked Jewish rioters raiding the village overnight, setting fire to property before fleeing, according to village cameras. The footage, which has not been independently verified, documents the raid that The Zioneer reported earlier this morning: at 07:49 Jerusalem, a series of updates described an overnight arson and vandalism incident in the same village, with IDF and police confirming a vehicle set on fire, a prayer structure door damaged, and graffiti. Initial reports from Palestinian sources cited by Ynet said settlers set fire to a mosque, and later Israel Hayom reported that Jewish rioters had set fire to a mosque in the area. The new video adds visual evidence of the raid, showing over 10 participants, though earlier reports spoke of 'dozens' of rioters. As The Zioneer reported on June 5, the Hebron Hills region has seen heightened tensions, including Arab riots and attacks on Jewish shepherds. No injuries or arrests have been reported in connection with the overnight raid, and the investigation is ongoing.
