Israeli leaders have strongly denounced a violent settler rampage that took place in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, marking a rare instance of Israeli condemnation of settler violence. The incident occurred in the village of Jit, near Nablus, resulting in the death of one Palestinian and severe injuries to others, as reported by Palestinian health officials.
Witnesses stated that around a hundred masked settlers entered the village, engaging in destructive behavior such as shooting live ammunition, setting fires to homes and vehicles, and damaging water tankers. Disturbing video footage showed the village engulfed in flames, with residents left to fend for themselves for two hours before receiving military assistance.
