The Jit riot was notable for provoking rapid rebukes from Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, despite his government comprising settlers in top positions, indicating a shift in response.
The situation escalated as dozens of masked Israeli civilians attacked, setting fire to vehicles and structures, prompting a military response that included dispersing rioters by firing in the air.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed serious concern over the riots, promising to locate and prosecute those responsible for the violence, reflecting a rare official condemnation of settler actions.
As conflict in Gaza continues, heightened military operations in the West Bank have coincided with a surge in settler violence against Palestinians, raising tensions considerably.
