Jews themselves started attacking Israeli soldiers, this is the reason for anger against the army.

 

Since the start of Israel's attacks in Gaza, violence against Palestinians has increased in the West Bank as well. This violence has been carried out on a large scale not only by the Israeli army but also by settlers. But at the annual Jewish pilgrimage in occupied Hebron, some extremist Jews tried to attack Major General Avi Bluth, head of the IDF Central Command.

Gen. Avi Bluth, who the army said was in the West Bank city on Friday to protect the gathering, was arrested by police after the incident. According to reports, the suspects chased Bluth and the soldiers accompanying him and called the IDF commander a "traitor."

The chief of the Central Command usually has a tense relationship with extremist settlers in the West Bank, as the military is tasked with trying to keep them under control in the West Bank.

Jewish extremists often attack Palestinians and their property in the West Bank. The Central Command is responsible for stopping them, due to which these extremists also clash with the army. The IDF said that a group of young suspects chased Bluth and tried to block the exit route, which is necessary for the army for the operation. Avi Bluth and the soldiers accompanying him have no injuries. The army said that after arresting 5 suspects, all the extremists fled.

Thousands of Jews come every year.

Thousands of Jewish pilgrims visit Hebron each year to commemorate Abraham's promise in the Torah to purchase the land. The pilgrims visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs. In recent years, Jewish rioters have targeted Palestinian locals, and the IDF has already restricted Palestinian movement in the city, which is further restricted during the pilgrimage.
