The IDF Central Command chief, Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth, announced that Tal Yinon Dardik, a suspect in a March attack on Palestinians, will be released from house arrest. This decision follows a court ruling that rejected Bluth's attempt to prevent Dardik from serving house arrest in his illegal outpost of Kfar Tarfon in the West Bank. Dardik will now be barred from entering most of the West Bank, except for Modiin Illit, and must report to a local police station twice daily. Dardik is accused of participating in an incident in Khirbet Humsa where settlers allegedly bound and humiliated Palestinians, an accusation he denies. This development occurs amid rising settler violence in the West Bank, with the military recording 867 incidents of nationalist crime and settler violence in 2025, an increase from 682 in 2024.
