Security officials said that dozens of Jewish rioters entered a village in the Gush Etzion area, set fire to one house and four Arab-owned vehicles, and assaulted a Palestinian man they encountered on the way, injuring him. At this stage, no arrests have been made.
At the same time, heightened alert prevails throughout the Gush Etzion sector after the security establishment received reports of masked individuals attempting to reach additional Palestinian Arab villages.
