Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the settler riots in Benjamin last night, during which they threw stones at soldiers and attempted to run them over. In a statement released by his office, it was written: "I strongly condemn the acts of rioting that took place in the Benjamin area, in which IDF soldiers were attacked. The State of Israel is a nation of law and no one is permitted to take the law into their own hands. The incidents must be thoroughly investigated and justice must be served to anyone who broke the law and acted against our soldiers. These people are a small minority that does not represent the vast majority of settlement residents, who abide by the law and serve in the IDF and security forces."
