Soldier in Al-Funduq

An Israeli soldier stands by during a prayer vigil on the outskirts of Al-Funduq. All protests and public events have the potential of becoming violent demonstrations, and the army was called out after a week of settler violence to keep the vigil from becoming more violent settler backlash in Al-Funduq. Though the army's concern was clearly for the wellbeing of the settlers, and not the Palestinians nearby, there was no violence that afternoon.
