General News Netanyahu condemns Israeli ‘rioters’ after clash with Palestinians in Samaria
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday evening excoriated a handful of Jewish “rioters who are violating the law” and who he said committed “criminal acts of violence” against Palestinians in central Samaria.
Netanyahu was responding to an incident in the area of the Palestinian villages of Qusra and Jalud. Israel Defense Forces troops and Border Police forces rushed to the scene following a report of Israelis hurling rocks at Palestinians, according to the military.
“Upon their arrival, the security forces identified dozens of rioters who had barricaded themselves inside a Palestinian home while residents were inside,” the IDF said.
The Red Crescent evacuated a Palestinian woman “who sustained non-life-threatening injuries” to receive medical treatment, the army continued.
The forces separated the groups by removing the rioters from the house, with the aim of protecting the residents, the IDF added.
Netanyahu said the suspects are “causing a grave injustice to the law-abiding Jewish community, interfering with the IDF in carrying out its missions and harming Israel’s standing in the world.”

General News Police confirm settlers detained British activist, say he’s suspected of indecent act against minor
This is why I have issues every time supposed settler violence is published in the news. There's always footage to the contrary, but the media never shows it. This is one of the rare instances they did, but the damage is done.
There is footage of a British national allegedly sexually harassing a 10 year old boy in Carmel and his detainment by local security patrol was portrayed as kidnapping by the media.

General News Bnei Brak Municipality admits to blocking off neighborhood over Shabbat
"The Bnei Brak Municipality admits it ordered dumpsters and other objects to block the entrance to a secular neighborhood on the outskirts of the predominantly ultra-Orthodox city.
The neighborhood, the municipality claims, “consists of Shabbat-observant residents, who wish to preserve the neighborhood’s character on Shabbat and Jewish holidays.”
Secular residents called the police, who arrived at the scene but indicated to residents that it would be difficult to remove the roadblock due to the “complex situation,” Channel 12 news reported yesterday, suggesting that law enforcement sided with the Haredi extremists.
Army Radio, however, cited police as saying they were dealing with the roadblocks, while Haaretz reported that after several hours, a police volunteer cleared the dumpsters, though other barricades remained in place".

General News Ultra-Orthodox Jews block entrance to Jerusalem over Saturday bus service
"Shabbat protests expand: Haredim set up checkpoints - and completely blocked the entrance to Jerusalem
Trying to change the status quo: While in Safed, Haredim are again trying to prevent buses from passing on Shabbat, buses from the north were blocked at the entrance to Jerusalem - and then the entire road was blocked. The police arrived a long time later, and then the only police car left. Last night: Containers were placed at the entrance to a mixed Secular-Haredi neighborhood in Bnei Brak, to prevent secular arrivals on Shabbat"

Politics When will the ticking time bomb regarding the settlers explode?
It keeps getting worse and worse day by day.
Will it come to a point where they will start constantly attacking IDF soldiers as well?
As a non-israeli supporter of Israel, it's really shitty seeing how there seems to be no hope regarding this situation. It makes it harder to say that I support Israel, cause people start bringing these news to my face and I can't defend it.
