The Shin Bet has revised its criteria for classifying Jewish nationalist attacks as terrorism, now requiring clear intent to kill for incidents to be labeled as such, according to a report by Israel's public broadcaster. Arson targeting unoccupied buildings or vehicles is now considered a serious incident but not terrorism, affecting how these cases are prioritized and investigated. The change comes amid rising settler violence in the West Bank, including property damage and arson, with recent arrests and ongoing investigations. Security services acknowledge the challenge of curbing extremist violence, and authorities have launched new initiatives, including a dedicated police task force, to address the issue. President Isaac Herzog has condemned the violence, calling it shocking and severe.
