Yes, because they can. They're being protected by the IDF and seem to have the freedom to do and take as they please.

Yet from the same report:

 

"Upon receiving the report, IDF (Israel Defence Force) soldiers were dispatched to the scene. The suspects fled prior to the arrival of IDF soldiers," it said, adding that no injuries were reported and the incident was under review.

DUBLIN (Reuters) -Ireland's cabinet gave its formal backing on Tuesday to drafting legislation on restricting trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, but the bill is unlikely to be passed by parliament until later in the year.

While Ireland does very little trade with the settlements, Prime Minister Micheal Martin said it was a "symbolic move" that follows its official recognition last year of a Palestinian state, alongside a small number of other European countries.

The bill, which would ban the import of goods from the settlements but is unlikely to include services, will be considered by a parliamentary committee in the coming weeks, Foreign Minister Simon Harris said.

It's the thought that counts. Israel becoming a pariah state under Netanyahu.

Louis Theroux: If you were shocked by my film on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, you 

[bannork]

Israel said Thursday it would establish 22 Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, including the legalization of outposts already built without government authorization.

Israel captured the West Bank, along with the Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, in the 1967 Mideast war and the Palestinians want all three territories for their future state. Most of the international community views settlements as illegal and an obstacle to resolving the decades-old conflict.

Defence Minister Israel Katz said the settlement decision “strengthens our hold on Judea and Samaria,” using the biblical term for the West Bank, "anchors our historical right in the Land of Israel, and constitutes a crushing response to Palestinian terrorism.”

Under international law, an occupying power is obligated to protect civilians under its control.

  Sarit Michaeli of B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights group: "Israel doesn't hold settlers accountable. On the contrary - settlers know that if they act violently, they'll receive support from all branches of the government. There's full impunity. In fact, it's more accurate to say settlers function as a branch of the government.
