Several arrests were made at dawn "following several serious incidents of violence over the past weekend," Israeli police announced. Ten people were reportedly arrested.
They are suspected of having participated in the violent incidents and of disobeying military orders. They are also suspected of illegal construction.
On Thursday, an American photographer working for The Washington Post was attacked and beaten by settlers. On Friday, a convoy of European diplomats was attacked, and a 78-year-old mayor from France was beaten.
The EU, the US and others have demanded that Israel take action. Rights groups point out that crimes by settlers against Palestinians are rarely prosecuted in Israel.
