L'escorte de Tsahal a servi de couverture à la démolition non autorisée d'un monument palestinien en Cisjordanie lors de Souccot.
Tsahal a déclaré que les soldats ont parlé avec leurs commandants après avoir vu ce qui se passait et ont reçu l'ordre d'intervenir et de retirer le groupe du village.
Évaluation
The IDF's claim that soldiers were told to intervene only after the fact raises questions about how much advance knowledge the military had of the demolition. The unauthorized destruction of a Palestinian monument during Sukkot, with an IDF escort present, suggests either a breakdown in command oversight or tacit approval of settler actions. The key question is whether the military will investigate the soldiers who stood by or the commanders who gave the escort order.
