Israel freed nine of 10 suspects arrested for attacks on journalists and diplomats, placing them under house arrest on Wednesday. The releases follow international pressure from the United States, France, Belgium, and Poland over rising settler violence. Rights groups note that the vast majority of militant settler attacks in the West Bank proceed without arrests.
