Israel Defense Forces ✔

Security forces conducted a renewed enforcement operation against several illegal structures built under a closed military zone next to the area of Salfit, where Israeli civilians have repeatedly engaged in violent and illegal activities. Israeli rioters from the outpost set tires on fire and placed roadblocks on main roads in the area in an attempt to prevent forces from the enforcement operation. As a result, roads and main routes remained blocked throughout the morning, disrupting the daily lives of residents of the area and causing roadblocks and traffic congestion across all roads in the area. The security forces cleared the roadblocks in order to restore order in the area. Throughout the operation, dozens of rioters engaged in physical and verbal violence against security forces, despite the forces' efforts to avoid physical confrontation. Security forces apprehended 18 suspects for assaulting and obstructing security personnel and seized several vehicles. Incendiary materials, weapons used for assault, and pepper spray were found in one of the vehicles. The apprehended suspects were transferred for an investigation in the Judea and Samaria district police.
