00:00Dozens of Israeli settlers set fires, vandalized military vehicles and attacked soldiers at a
00:08military base in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Sunday night, the military has said.
00:13In a response to the violence, the military used stun grenades against the settlers.
00:19Israel's Defense Minister Israel Gatz vowed to eradicate violence, quote-unquote, from the root.
00:26Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Sunday's attack.
00:30And Far-Right Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gavir has also offered a condemnation,
00:35a rare move, as he has often defended Jewish settlers accused of similar crimes.
00:42Violence by extremist settlers has risen alongside growing tensions in the region.
00:47On Wednesday, three Palestinians were killed when Israeli settlers stormed a village near Ramallah.
00:53The West Bank is home to some three million Palestinians living under seemingly open-ended
00:58Israeli military rule and 500,000 Jewish settlers.
