US Condemns Settler ‘Criminal Violence’ After Attack on Jalud

The United States condemned “criminal violence” by Israeli settlers following an attack on the village of Jalud in the occupied West Bank.

The condemnation came as Israeli authorities continued to enforce a closure of the West Bank during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which had entered its fourth day.

The closure coincided with incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem and the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron.

The information provided did not detail casualties or damage from the Jalud attack, or specify when the West Bank closure would be lifted.
