Israeli police detained 10 people in a rare raid against settlers in the occupied West Bank, The Guardian reported. The operation followed a weekend of extreme violence in which a US photojournalist and a group of European diplomats and Palestinians were assaulted in separate incidents.
The detentions mark an uncommon enforcement action by Israeli authorities against settler violence, which has intensified in recent months across the territory.
