Joint IDF and Israel Border Police announcement: IDF soldiers and Israel Border Police forces were dispatched to the area of Qusra following reports that Israeli rioters had arrived in the area and that violent clashes had occurred, including stone-hurling toward Palestinians and additional civilians. Upon their arrival, the security forces identified dozens of rioters who had barricaded themselves inside a Palestinian home while Palestinian residents were inside. The IDF is also aware of reports of Palestinian injuries, including a Palestinian woman who sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was evacuated by the Red Crescent for medical treatment. The security forces who arrived at the scene initially operated to remove the rioters from the home and separate the groups, in order to protect the residents inside the house. In addition, the security forces confiscated vehicles belonging to the Israeli rioters that were suspected of having been used to reach the area. The vehicles, along with additional evidence collected at the scene by the security forces, are being transferred to the Judea and Samaria District of the Israel Police as part of the police investigation that has been opened. IDF soldiers and Israel Border Police forces continue to operate in the areas of Qusra and Jalud to prevent further disturbances and restore order in the area. The security forces strongly condemn all forms of violence.
