The number of settlers in administrative detention has risen to a new record of eight, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, after Defense Minister Yoav Gallant signed an order to detain an additional three settlers on Monday.
According to the newspaper, 1,132 Palestinians remain in administrative detention.
Gallant signed the arrest warrants of three Israeli settlers based on a Shin Bet recommendation over their involvement in rioting against Palestinians. Two of them were involved in the attack in the village of Umm Safa, while another one was involved in Al-Laban Al-Sharqiya. The detention period ranged from three to six months.
One of the attackers was an off-duty Israeli soldier, the paper reported.
