Footage shows armed settlers at West Bank wedding chanting anti-Zionist song
Israeli television aired footage of armed settler extremists at a wedding in the Gush Etzion area of the West Bank.
The video showed participants dancing to a song associated with the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta sect and chanting against Zionists.
One person waved what appeared to be an automatic weapon supplied by the Israeli military, while another held a pistol.
The footage highlighted rejection of state authority among some settlers, according to the report.
Shortly afterward, settlers reportedly burned a vehicle in nearby Beit Ummar; no arrests were made.
Elsewhere in the West Bank, settlers were filmed taking or damaging Palestinian olives during the annual harvest.
Israeli police said they detained 11 foreign activists and one Palestinian who tried to reach an area they described as a closed military zone, while investigators are examining a complaint over a rabbi's ruling permitting Jews to harvest Palestinian olives.

Israeli settler terrorists attack Palestinian olive harvesters and throw their freshly picked olives to the ground in Shaab Al-Butum, Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
Another mass detention of activists in the West Bank, this time in Masafer Yatta. No mass detentions of Israeli settler terrorists. Instead, activists who came to help Palestinians harvest their olives are the ones being detained.
