High Court justices expressed frustration with the police's failure to address settler violence in the West Bank. The court was reviewing a petition by residents of Khirbet Zanuta who accused the IDF, Israel Police, and Defense Ministry of contempt of court for not protecting them from violence. The residents fled the village in October 2023 due to attacks by extremist Jews and returned in August after a court order. However, they allege renewed attacks and lack of protection have led to the depopulation of the village. The court demanded answers from the police during the hearing.
