“Those who fight terrorism are the IDF and the security forces, and no one else,” he said, using an acronym for the Israeli military. “We are building and developing settlements in a legal and official manner,” Smotrich wrote on X, adding that he “reject any expression of anarchist criminal violence that has nothing to do with love for the land and the desire to settle in it.”
Sufian Jit, a resident of the village, said a group of 100 settlers streamed in before sundown Thursday, burning cars, puncturing water tankers and destroying homes. He called the army and firefighters, pleading for help. Firefighters never came, so villagers ran between burning cars to put out the fires, he said. After two hours, he said soldiers arrived.
