Israeli settlers renew attacks on West Bank village where Israeli soldiers detained, assaulted CNN crew | CNN

Dozens of Israeli settlers returned to the West Bank village of Tayasir on Wednesday to build a new illegal settler outpost on its outskirts, days after a separate one was dismantled following a CNN report covering its establishment. Local residents and eyewitnesses told CNN settlers arrived in the morning with a flock of sheep loaded onto the back of an army vehicle. Videos sent to CNN show Israeli soldiers and military jeeps providing protection to the settlers as they erect new tents. An Israeli attorney representing a Palestinian Bedouin community that was displaced in the area also confirmed the military’s presence. “The outpost was accompanied by military vehicles,” Dr. Netta Amar-Shiff told CNN. “It was built with the direct support and guard of the military.” The Israel Defense Forces denied that their soldiers helped in establishing the outpost. “IDF soldiers arrived at the scene only after the outpost had already been set up, in order to conduct an initial inquiry, and then left the area,” the Israeli military said in a statement to CNN. “The outpost was established illegally and is currently under review.” Five days earlier, settlers stormed the village
