Shin Bet and police arrest four suspects for attacks on Palestinians in Jit, including arson, stone-throwing, and a fatal shooting.

The Shin Bet and Israel Police arrested four suspects, three adults and one minor, who are suspected of being involved in several attacks against Palestinians, including the attacks last Thursday in Jit, the Israel Police and Shin Bet reported in a joint statement on Thursday morning.

These incidents involved the burning of buildings and vehicles, stone-throwing, and Molotov cocktail attacks.

"This is a serious terror incident that included, among other things, the burning of buildings and vehicles, stone-throwing, and the use of Molotov cocktails. Additionally, a shooting took place that resulted in the death of a Palestinian and the injury of another," Ynet cited security forces.

The IDF noted that the rioters in Jit last week were harming Israel's national security, according to Ynet's report. Moreover, the Palestinian Health Ministry in the West Bank reported that one local youth was killed by gunfire, and another was seriously wounded.

"IDF and Border Police forces arrived in the village within minutes after receiving the report, used riot control equipment, fired into the air, and removed the Israeli civilians from the village. Security forces arrested one Israeli citizen, who was handed over to the Israel Police for further investigation. The report of a Palestinian killed during the incident is being examined," Ynet cited the IDF.
