Nablus

The IDF says the commander has been explicitly ordered to avoid taking any actions that may be in any way interpreted as identifying with the Jewish extremists or supporting their illegal conduct.

The graffiti also denounced KAN News journalists who wrote news reports, and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee who condemned West Bank extremist settler violence as "terrorism."

"We have to deal with things like this all the time; it was expected to happen. We are stuck here between Jewish terrorism and Palestinian terrorism,” the soldiers said, according to Army Radio. 

Sukkot could have demanded its removal through the IDF, the government, or the courts. What he could not do was appoint himself judge, enforcement officer, and demolition crew.

The IDF confirmed that it had diverted troops from standard operational duties to guard Sukkot and his aides on what he called a 'memorial tour' in several villages in Areas A and B in the West Bank.

Israel Police received a report of the incident, opened an investigation, and are preparing to enter the area with the IDF.

Those who believe that they are still supporting their Jewish acquaintances while chanting slogans against Zionism are self-righteous hypocrites

Competing accounts of the deadly Tell confrontation highlight growing tensions over settler violence, Palestinian attacks, and the risk of a wider uprising.

Nablus Governor Ghassan Douglas told The Jerusalem Post that Netanyahu is avoiding action against violent settlers ahead of elections, warning of further West Bank escalation.

“The more Israel pushes to transform archaeological sites into anchors for annexation, the greater the backlash, and that ends up damaging the very sites it claims to protect,” stated Alon Arad.
