Last night, settlers expelled the commander of the Ramallah region in the Israeli army, Eliaf El-Baz, upon his arrival at the house of settler Harel Masoud, who was killed in a shooting attack at the Eli settlement.

The settlers prevented Al-Baz from entering the house inside the Yad Binyamin outpost, and expelled him from there while chasing him outside the settlement, insulting him and describing him as a traitor, a murderer, and a coward, holding him responsible for the operation and the security failure, and that the four settlers who were killed in the operation were killed because of his failure.

The family of the dead settler said that they were not aware of the arrival of the district commander, and that they deplored the event and would arrange another visit for the officer.

Various Israeli political parties, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, condemned this attack, while military sources accused unspecified political parties of being the reason for encouraging settlers to such policy and incitement.

The sources said, "This is a direct result of the brutal incitement in recent days by political figures who encouraged extremist elements in the West Bank to work against the law," in a clear reference to the extremist ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir.
