The IDF Spokesperson responded to riots at junctions in Judea and Samaria following an attempted evacuation of hilltop youth from an outpost at the Tubasi family home in the village of Jalud in Binyamin last night, stating that the Israelis who rioted entered a closed military zone in violation of the law, and that a fire broke out at the site under circumstances currently under investigation. According to the military, "Given that this is an area defined as a closed military zone and a structure belonging to Palestinians, no equipment owned by Israeli civilians should be present there. The presence of the rioters at the site diverts the attention of security forces from defense operations and counterterrorism activities."
