Security Footage Shows Dozens of Settlers Torch Vehicles in Susiya

An Israeli investigation follows the Susiya arson, with prosecutions in such cases remaining rare.

Overview

  • Security cameras captured a large masked group entering the West Bank hamlet around 8 p.m., splashing flammable liquid and setting vehicles alight while hurling rocks.
  • Residents reported cars, tents and a caravan burned and damaged during the Tuesday night raid near Hebron.
  • The Israeli military said soldiers and police were dispatched, searched for suspects and opened an investigation, but no arrests were announced.
  • The Palestinian Red Crescent said four people were treated for smoke inhalation, while the Israeli military reported no injuries.
  • An EU representative condemned the violence as monitors documented a post–Oct. 7 surge in settler attacks, and Yesh Din reported about 2% of documented cases leading to indictments.
