Gallant signs administrative detention orders for settlers suspected of violence in West Bank
The administrative detention came after several detainees were released on Wednesday, including a 14-year-old boy.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant signed four Gallant signs administrative detention orders for four individuals suspected of violence in the West Bank, Israeli media reported early Friday morning.
The administrative detention came after several detainees were released on Wednesday, including a 14-year-old boy.
The four suspects were detained on suspicion of being involved in the riots in Jit last week, in which buildings were torched and one Palestinian killed.

"This is a serious terrorist incident that included, among other things, the arson of buildings and vehicles, stone-throwing, and the hurling of Molotov cocktails," Ynet cited the Shin Bet and the Police as saying. "Additionally, there was a shooting in which a Palestinian was killed and another was injured."
Five other suspects have been detained since last week for attacking an Arab-Israeli family who made a wrong turn and entered the Givat Ronen settlement near Nablus.
