The apparent assault occurred on Route 60 outside Givat Assaf, a former wildcat outpost that the government retroactively legalized in late June, though the settlement’s homes remain unauthorized amid claims that they were placed on private Palestinian land.

The suspect was named by Israeli security sources as 58-year-old Hayil Dhaifallah, from the central West Bank town of Rafat. His condition was not immediately clear, the Palestinian Authority’s official mouthpiece Wafa reported.

The IDF later operated at the assailant’s home to measure it for potential demolition.

retroactively legalized

What that means is illegal by all international laws and norms, and not recognized by any other country in the world. But since the US likes to be humiliated by Netanyahu, they continue to outflank even Israeli's themselves on how much they try to cover for the authoritarian Israeli government.

It's the israel special. Where the government says they don't support colonists, provide the colonists with weapons. Give them a state salary to terrorize Palestinians and colonize their land, And then "retroactively legalize" the colonized land.

Totally different from colonization as israeli state policy! (because that's not allowed according to international law so it's just people doing this totally on their own against the israels will🥸 )

Seems to be a direct response to 5 Palestinians killed in a drone attack and a teenager shot dead in Tubas, West Bank and 3 killed in another drone attack in Tulkarm, West Bank. Escalation always leads to more escalation.

Since the outpost was illegal, and 'israel' is an occupying territory, this was perfectly legal according to international law. May that 'soldier' have no rest in the deepest pits of hell.
