Haaretz - Israel News - Search Results: "The military and police did nothing to prevent the felling of Palestinian olive trees despite having the names of the settlers responsible, the head of the Shin Bet security service claimed Tuesday.
Yuval Diskin told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that the Shin Bet had handed over the names of members of the 'hilltop youth' from the West Bank settlements of Yitzhar and Itamar who were involved in uprooting the olive trees, but the security forces refrained from taking any action.
According to Diskin, the Israel Defense Forces and Israel Police 'are turning a blind eye, and doing nothing to deal with this phenomenon.'"
