- The IDF reported that troops were dispatched following a report of rocks thrown at an Israeli vehicle, and a reserve soldier in the vehicle opened fire at suspects in the area; the incident is under military review.
- MK Ahmad Tibi condemned the attack as a "massacre," accusing the Israeli military leadership and government of supporting settler violence against Palestinians and alleging that settlers fired directly into classrooms.
- Tibi criticized Israeli media coverage, suggesting a double standard in how such incidents are reported depending on the victims' identities.
