This morning the IDF decided to reinforce the forces in the third battalion. The Givati patrol will join the Viper Battalion of the Paratroopers Brigade (202) and the Rotem Battalion of the Givati Brigade (435) whose arrival in the sector was decided earlier.
As I recall, last night, following the attack, masses of settlers entered the village of Hawara and caused huge fires, riots, throwing stones and injured people.
MGB forces fired stun grenades and gas - two were slightly injured by the gas shots. Also, three people were slightly injured by throwing stones from Palestinians. The forces took control of the fires and extinguished them. A 37-year-old Palestinian was killed in the riots.
