At the Havat Gilad outpost in the West Bank, settlers denied one of their group had pressed a knife to a soldier's throat during an altercation at the scene earlier in the afternoon.
The settlers confirmed however that a helmet had been stolen from the soldiers and pledged it would be returned to the military. They added that they intend to file a libel suit against the IDF Spokesman's Office, which reported the alleged incident.
