Security agencies fear recent incidents point to rise in rightist violence

Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for September 28, 2008.

After security forces evacuated the illegal outpost of Yad Yair earlier this month, West Bank settlers responded by torching fields belonging to Palestinian villagers and puncturing tires of Israel Defense Forces vehicles.

Right-wing elements in Israeli society appear to be increasingly turning against the rule of the law, determined to take their ultranationalist cause into their own hands, employing violence against anyone they perceive as enemies, be they soldiers or civilians, Israelis or Palestinians.
