Israeli police, with the assistance of the Shin Bet, have arrested four individuals, including three adults and a minor, suspected of participating in a violent attack by Jewish settlers on the Palestinian village of Jit in the West Bank. The attack, which occurred last Thursday, resulted in the death of a 23-year-old Palestinian man. Witnesses reported that dozens of Israeli settlers, masked and armed with rocks, Kalashnikovs, and M-16s, entered the village at sundown. The incident has raised concerns among residents about the potential for future attacks.
