A 24-year-old resident of the Givat Ronen outpost in the West Bank was arrested on Saturday after throwing stones and shoving IDF soldiers, police reported.
Border Police received a report of Jewish settlers throwing stones toward Palestinian bystanders. When the officers arrived at the scene, the suspects attacked them as well.
The troops used riot control measures to disperse the stone throwers, one of whom approached a soldier and shoved him before being arrested. The same individual was carrying a gun. 
Later, when a police vehicle arrived at the scene to take the suspect in for questioning, a number of settlers threw stones at it, resulting in the car being damaged.
The left-wing NGO Yesh Din claimed that they have video footage of IDF soldiers standing by as the same settlers threw rocks toward a Palestinian home in Burin (Nablus), Walla reported.
The organization has documented 51 Israeli-to-Palestinian stone-throwing incidents since Ahuviya Sandak's death nearly a month ago.
Just last week, about 20 Yitzhar residents reportedly went down went to the nearby Palestinian village of Madama on Sunday afternoon to throw rocks at the houses, injuring 11-year-old Palestinian girl Hala Alkut, Israeli media reported at the time.
According to Yesh Din, out of the 51 instances, 14 of them left people injured - 11 of those being stone-throwing incidents - including two children.
Marking 30 days since Sandak's death, settlers protested on Thursday evening and well into the night, blocking intersections and attacking Palestinian vehicles in the West Bank, Israeli media reported.
