The IDF and Israel Police on Monday arrested an Israeli civilian suspected of carrying out a settler attack in Jalud in the northern West Bank earlier in the day that injured a Palestinian teenager.

Palestinian media reported that settlers had arrived at the outskirts of the village of Jalud in the Nablus area, set fire to a structure, and assaulted and injured a 14-year-old boy.

Other footage from the scene appeared to show stone-throwing between Palestinians and settlers after the settlers arrived, as well as settlers throwing stones near a home on the edge of the village.

The IDF later said that “forces were dispatched following a report that several Israeli civilians had set fire to a structure, and that dozens of additional civilians had gathered in the area. As a result, a Palestinian was injured and evacuated for medical treatment.”

It added that troops “acted to disperse the gathering using crowd control measures, questioned the civilians at the scene, and detained an Israeli civilian, who will be transferred for further handling by Israel Police.”

Police then confirmed, in response to a query by The Times of Israel, that an Israeli civilian was indeed transferred into their custody and arrested.

Police added that investigators are preparing to enter the scene, accompanied by IDF forces, to collect testimonies, evidence, and findings, and that the investigation is ongoing.
