Hard-right activists clashed with troops and set fire to a security site following a growing wave of attacks on Palestinians in the occupied territory.

Dozens of Israelis clashed with Israeli troops outside a military base in the occupied West Bank and set fire to a nearby security installation overnight, the Israeli military said on Monday, in the latest violence perpetrated by hard-right Jewish extremists in the territory.
A hard-right protest over the Israeli military’s handling of Israeli settler attacks on a Palestinian town devolved into a riot. Extremists attacked security forces with pepper spray and vandalized military vehicles, the military said.
The confrontation occurred against a backdrop of rising tensions between settlers and the security forces over the Israeli military’s response to clashes between the settlers and Palestinians, and at least 11 Israelis have been detained in multiple incidents.
On Friday, an Israeli teenager was wounded by gunfire during clashes with soldiers, according to settler officials, prompting further outrage among hard-line settlers against the Israeli military’s behavior.
Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians have sharply increased in the West Bank, where roughly three million Palestinians and 500,000 Israelis live.
Last Wednesday, at least three Palestinians were killed during a confrontation in the town of Kafr Malik outside the city of Ramallah, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
