The IDF says it is dealing with an attack near the Palestinian villages of Sa'ir and Beit Fajjar in the Hebron area, after video of the incident spread on Palestinian social media around noon. The footage shows masked men dressed in black riding in a pickup truck with clubs, apparently heading to attack Palestinians who had come to harvest olives. According to the IDF, the attackers beat Palestinians and smashed a vehicle's windows, and five Palestinians were injured. The IDF says its forces and Border Police rushed to the scene, drove the attackers away and declared a closed military zone to restore order. The Palestinians later went back to harvesting olives at the site.

Shortly afterward, the IDF says dozens of masked Israeli rioters arrived in two vehicles, but they fled before security forces got there. Soldiers later spotted two suspicious vehicles and fired into the air, and the vehicles fled to an illegal outpost on a hill near Sa'ir, the IDF says. One of the vehicles had a Palestinian license plate and had been stolen. An IDF spokesperson strongly condemned incidents in which Israeli rioters take the law into their own hands, saying they divert forces' attention, undermine stability and harm counterterrorism operations. The IDF's statement did not mention any arrests, so what happens next remains unclear.
