A security official told Walla on Sunday! NEWS that there has been a rise in violent incidents against Palestinians in the Bat Ayin area recently, partly because boys who left the Izhar area have moved to the area. This, he said, was probably due to the increased military presence there. "It is expected of the leadership in Bat Ayin to condemn their presence and realize that it offends them," the source added.

This is after two men were investigated earlier on suspicion of throwing stones at a Palestinian vehicle near Al-Jabaa southeast of Bethlehem last weekend. According to a security establishment, two other suspects fled. Police said that as part of the investigation, testimony was taken from the Palestinian and the soldiers and that the two suspects were interrogated and released under restrictive conditions.

The Meir Tag Forum said in response to the two men's investigation that "we are jokingly condemning the throwing of stones at cars at the entrance to the village of Al-Jabeh by Jewish terrorists. Security forces in their slackening against Jewish terrorist activities in recent months are bringing us all closer to an event that will harm innocent Palestinian residents." .

Outpost Komi Uri was defined as a closed military area two months ago after young people threw stones at a military force. And since then the entrance is only allowed to residents. Also, led by Yitzhar condemned the act and called on the boys to leave Yitzhar. The security system now says that some have moved to the Bat Ayin area.

Last month, unknown people sprayed Hebrew inscriptions and punctured tires in Kfar Jaba. Among other things, the inscriptions "Revenge of the Eye" and "Evacuation of the Eye" were sprayed, after a tent was evacuated in the settlement area. Also, a Palestinian bus driver was attacked last month and stones were thrown at buses. Following this, Egged Transport Company announced that it would no longer enter Bat Ayin. After the local council condemned the deeds, it was finally decided to return the service to the settlement.
