Israeli settlers torch scrapyard in West Bank arson attack as Netanyahu calls meeting on rising extremist violence

About 150 cars were torched or damaged in Huwara by settlers linked to extremist groups amid rising settler violence, coinciding with Netanyahu's security meeting on the issue.

  • Israeli settlers torched a vehicle scrapyard in Huwara while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a security meeting; the Israel Defense Forces confirmed cars were set on fire near Yitzhar on Thursday.
  • In recent weeks, settler violence has surged, and the Huwara attack follows last week's major arson in the northern West Bank and the June 2023 rampage.
  • Scrapyard owner Mohammed Dalal says more than a dozen settlers smashed cars and started the fire, estimating 150 cars were torched or damaged at the scrapyard.
  • The Israel Defense Forces said soldiers were dispatched to Huwara after reports of civilians throwing rocks, setting fires and damaging property, and reported no injuries or suspects after searches.
  • The policy on detention and a lack of decisive outcomes raise questions about accountability, as last year Defense Minister Israel Katz declared no administrative detention for settlers and officials say it's unclear if a response decision was reached.
