It's estimated that between 1,000 and 1,200 settlers surrounded the village, and around 500 stormed it just after midday local time on Friday, blocking all the roads in the area.

According to Abu-Alia [head of the village council], the Israeli military arrived at the scene at around 3 p.m. local time, but did not stop the settlers from attacking the village. Instead, Israeli soldiers allowed them to raid homes, prevented Palestinian residents from moving around and blocked ambulances from reaching the injured, he alleged.

Israeli security forces had informed Palestinian officials that the settlers were looking for an Israeli teenager who had gone missing earlier in the day.

Generic Israelis are largely in full support of this. The settler terror has been going on for decades. It was continued by every Israeli government. It doesn't matter if Likud and other fascists, or centre or centre-left. Every Israeli government in the past 30 years was voted to continue this.

The Israeli people as a whole bear full responsibility for this. As is always pointed out, Israel is "the only democracy in the Middle East". If that is true, then the majority of voting aged Israeli citizens is fully responsible for the settler terrorism.

Only those that speak out against it showed that they do not want to be complicit in this. And these are the Israeli people belittled, systematically silenced and accused of being "antisemitic" in western countries. They deserve our full support and highest respect.
