In response to the attack in which Palestinians killed Eitam and Naama
Henkin, settlers attacked Palestinians and their property in many parts
of the West Bank. Footage shows that soldiers were present at the scene
throughout the incidents, but did not prevent the attack or arrest
perpetrators. On the contrary, the soldiers accompanied settlers on
their rampage, and used crowd-control weapons against Palestinian youth
from the villages, who threw stones at the settlers in order
to push them back. In one of the videos a soldier is helped by a masked
settler who carries his military backpack containing tear-gas
canisters, and even loads the canisters onto the soldier's six-shot
launcher.
