Israeli settlers damaged cars and tried to burn down a house in Palestinian villages in the West Bank

The actions followed the removal of three illegal shacks in a Jewish settlement. These incidents are what some Israelis call "price tag" actions: Any activity against settlements and outposts is met by violence against Palestinian property. Israeli police removed three illegal shacks in the Jewish outpost of Havat Gilad. Police and civil administration representatives were stoned by the settlers on the scene. Eight people were arrested in the incident. Israeli settlers blocked roads in Jerusalem, demonstrating against the outpost's removal. The demonstrators burned tires and clashed with police. Twenty-three demonstrators were arrested. Three other settlers were arrested in the West Bank. There were also several incidents of torching cars in villages around Hebron. People also tried to burn down a house in the village Hiwara, south of Nablus. The Palestinian owner of the burned house, Rami Edmaidi, said that a group of Israeli settlers broke the window with an iron club, threw a Molotov cocktail into the bedroom and fled. Due to the thick smoke, his brother and sister-in-law had to be taken to the hospital for breathing problems.
