Israeli soldiers did nothing to stop settler attacks in West Bank: Report

The Israeli Haaretz newspaper, citing a senior security official, reports that the investigation into the settlers' attack on the village of Jit in the occupied West Bank revealed that soldiers arrived shortly after the incident but did not arrest the perpetrators.

The Israeli soldiers took no action to stop the violent settler attack on the village, Haaretz said.

Armed Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian town of Jit, east of Qalqilya, killing at least one man overnight Thursday.

The Palestinian health ministry identified Rashid Mahmoud Abdel Qader Sadda, 23, as the victim. He was shot in the chest by one of the armed settlers.

Several other Palestinians were wounded in the attack, one of them critically.
