Twenty radical leftists came on Shabbat to Nachal Tsofit, a community near Bat Ayin, apparently in order to cause provocations with residents, witnesses said. Local residents confronted them, in an effort to ensure that they would not attempt to damage property or agricultural fields belonging to the community. During the confrontation, the leftists began throwing stones at the residents, and residents attempted to defend themselves and their property.
IDF troops arrested three of the leftists over the rock throwing and for refusing to leave the area when ordered to. The troops kept both sides separated, and no injuries or damage was reported.
