        The Israeli military and police arrested five Israeli settlers on Saturday for rioting near the Jewish settlement of Itamar in the West Bank, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.
        
        The arrests were made after dozens of Israeli settlers, some of whom were masked, instigated a violent riot, "hurling stones towards the IDF and Israel Border Police forces who arrived at the scene," the statement said.
        
        Israel's state-owned Kan TV News reported that during the incident, a soldier was punched by one of the rioters.
