Israeli forces detain 18 settlers in central West Bank for disturbances

Israeli forces detained 18 settlers in Salfit, West Bank, for causing disturbances and blocking roads. The army reported that the settlers attacked security personnel and were found with incendiary materials and weapons. The clashes occurred during an operation to dismantle an illegal outpost. Despite the illegality of such structures under international law, the Israeli government rarely enforces sanctions. The settlers also reportedly set fire to Palestinian olive trees and blocked access to roads, hindering local farmers. The Palestinian Resistance Committee documented multiple attacks against farmers in the region.
