Terrorists fired at an IDF outpost in Samaria from a passing car Wednesday morning and then fled the scene.

“A short while ago, we received a report of a shooting on a military post near the Ofra Junction in the Binyamin region,” an IDF spokesperson said in a statement. “IDF forces who were at the scene responded with fire. IDF forces are searching the area for suspects. There were no injuries.”

According to a report in Israel National News, the attackers came from the nearby Palestinian village of Silwad. To its north is Eli, where two Palestinian terrorists shot and killed four Israelis and injured another four on Tuesday at a restaurant at the town’s entrance.

Silwad has been the target of IDF arrest raids several times in the past year during the ongoing counterterrorism operation dubbed “Breaking the Wave.” The troops have regularly come under attack there while carrying out their arrests.

Before Passover last year, security forces prevented an imminent holiday eve attack by raiding Silwad and another village and arresting six suspects. One of them was Mu’ad Hamed, a resident of Silwad who murdered Malachi Rosenfeld and injured three others in a drive-by shooting in 2015.

Earlier this month Hamed was given two life sentences and ordered to pay a million shekels in compensation to Rosenfeld’s family and the other victims.

Another Silwad terrorist, Ali Hamad, intentionally rammed a Jewish man with his car in Tel Aviv in December, injuring him moderately.

“The return to Evyatar is the proper Zionist response to the … barbaric murder of four beloved sons of this nation. We will hit the Arab enemy where it hurts most.”

By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News

Hundreds of religious Zionist youth and families, joined by several coalition MKs, encamped Monday night at a settlement in Samaria that previous governments had promised to recognize, saying that the proper answer to the terrorist murders at Eli that day is to reestablish the community.

Evyatar, near Nablus (Shechem), is an unauthorized community that was evacuated two years ago with the promise that its land would be surveyed and that whichever part was found to be on state land would be made into a legal village. The survey was completed, but the government has yet to fulfill its side of the bargain and has not allowed the villagers to return.

“We’ve returned home to Evyatar,” declared MK Tzvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism), who at the time was one of the fledgling community’s founders. “Terrorists should know that any attack will only deepen the Jewish hold on the territory.”

“Two years after being evacuated, the time has come for us to return forever,” he added.

His party had made the legalization of the nascent village “according to the Evyatar outline” – a condition for joining the current coalition. In February, the government authorized nine young settlements, but Evyatar was not included.

According to a Channel 14 report, the renewed attempt to resettle Evyatar was done with the knowledge of the political echelon, and the activists received a message that “we won’t evacuate you.”

Israelis have repeatedly returned to the site in an effort to get the government to fulfill its promise, especially after terror attacks. In February, after brothers Hillel and Yigal Yaniv, were murdered in a shooting attack in nearby Huwara, hundreds trekked to Evyatar but were evacuated by force by the army. Tens of thousands went there during the Passover holiday in April in a more festive atmosphere.

Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan said in a statement, “The return to Evyatar is the proper Zionist response to the … barbaric murder of four beloved sons of this nation. We will hit the Arab enemy where it hurts most.

“Anyone who tries to kick us off our land will get a thousand Evyatars…. The noble families of Evyatar have waited long enough. Neither [U.S. President Joe] Biden, the EU, nor the terrorist Palestinian Authority will distance us from our land. We’re here to stay.”

“Residents of Jenin, Allah is on your side,” one soldier says, while others giggle in the background, in clip released shortly after seven troops were seriously wounded in a raid.

By World Israel News Staff

Several Arab-Israeli soldiers were arrested by military police on Tuesday after they filmed a clip slamming the IDF and making derogatory remarks about the State of Israel – while wearing their army uniforms.

“Allah supports Jenin, Allah is with Palestine, F– Israel,” the soldiers can be heard saying in the video, which was filmed several hours after an Israeli raid on the city left six terrorists dead.

Seven Israeli soldiers were seriously wounded in the operation by a roadside bomb.

“Residents of Jenin, Allah is on your side,” one soldier in the clip is heard remarking, in an expression of support for those who live in the Palestinian Authority-controlled city that is widely considered to be a terror hotbed. “Israel can go to hell.”

Others in the clip can be seen giggling and heard laughing in the background.

In a statement released shortly after the clip was published by media outlets, an Israeli army spokesperson said that the “conduct of the soldiers is contrary to the values ​​of the IDF, and they will be dealt with [in a] disciplinary setting,”

The IDF statement added that the soldiers in the video were arrested by military police but released after several hours, pending an investigation.

An attorney for one of the soldiers told Army Radio that the clip had been edited in a misleading way and that the troops had praised Israel as well.

“In most of the video, the [defendants] came to the defense of the IDF soldiers. It is appropriate that the recourse [for this incident] be only disciplinary and not criminal,” the attorney said.

According to Hebrew-language media reports, the soldiers depicted in the clip are stationed at a logistics base in the southern Negev desert.

Judging by the location in which the video was filmed and their accents in Arabic, it appears that the troops in question are Bedouin-Israeli volunteers who are not subject to mandatory conscription to the army.

In recent years, a number of Bedouin-Israeli troops were found to have aided in massive weapons and ammunition thefts from army bases, particularly in the south.

Notably, Druze citizens of Israel, the only Arabic-speaking group in Israel who are regularly drafted to the IDF, are among the upper echelon of elite IDF soldiers and senior commanders.
