Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
I strongly condemn the violent riots tonight in Samaria and the harm to the security forces that came to the scene to maintain law and order.
The handful of rioters does not represent the law-abiding settler community in YOS, causes them a huge injustice and hinders our forces in fulfilling their mission.
I support the IDF and MGB soldiers who are working to thwart terrorism and maintain security and call on the enforcement authorities to exhaust the full severity of the law against the violators.
