Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog condemned "grave acts of violence" by Israeli "rioters" against Palestinians in Samaria. The incident occurred near the Palestinian villages of Qusra and Jalud, where Israeli forces responded to reports of Israelis throwing rocks at Palestinians. Security forces found dozens of rioters barricaded inside a Palestinian home, and a Palestinian woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Netanyahu stated, "I expect law enforcement authorities to arrest the rioters and bring them to justice as soon as possible." The Binyamin Regional Council, however, claimed the Israelis were attacked first by Palestinians while on a tour, with council head Yisrael Ganz noting, "video footage showed the incident started with Palestinian violence." An Israeli resident present at the scene corroborated this, stating the confrontation began when Arabs started throwing stones at Israelis patrolling a grazing area. Both sides called for investigations into the violence.
