Military says arson attack on counterterror installation ‘poses a danger to the security of the residents’; IDF releases footage of Friday settler ambush on military patrol

Dozens of Jewish extremists set fire to a security installation and rioted outside a West Bank base overnight Sunday-Monday, days after an officer in the Israel Defense Forces was assaulted by settlers.

Members of the crowd held up a sign declaring “the battalion commander is a traitor,” referring to the officer.

A military official said some of the settlers tried to break into the Binyamin Regional Brigade military base in the central West Bank, threw rocks and sprayed mace at troops, and slashed the tires of army vehicles.

Additionally, Israeli settlers torched a multi-million-shekel security installation used to “thwart terror attacks and maintain security” in the Ramallah area of the West Bank overnight, according to the IDF.
