IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has strongly condemned recent violent attacks by Israeli civilians against Palestinians and soldiers in the West Bank, calling the incidents a 'red line' and vowing decisive action to bring offenders to justice. The violence, which included arson and assaults in the village of Beit Lid, has drawn criticism from senior military officials and President Isaac Herzog, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have yet to comment. Military leaders warn that such acts undermine national security and force soldiers to divert resources from their primary mission of defense and counterterrorism. Calls for government-wide action and stronger law enforcement have intensified, as officers highlight a permissive atmosphere and insufficient police response to settler violence.
