Israel Settlers Attack Palestinian Villagers, Set Fire to Their Vehicles
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Israeli settlers attacked a village near the town of Urif, south of Nablus, and set fire to Palestinian cars last night, according to eyewitnesses and activists.
According to Wafa news agency, Israeli settlers sneaked into the village in the middle of the night and torched three vehicles belonging to three local Palestinian citizens.
Meanwhile, groups of Israeli settlers broke through the Israeli military checkpoints, also located to the south of Nablus, and physically attacked Palestinian drivers by throwing stones towards them, resulting in bodily injuries, the Middle East Monitor reported.
In addition to this, Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles at the entrance of the Mukhamas village, located north-east of Jerusalem al-Quds, and terrified Palestinian passengers.
Incidents of vandalism and violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property are a daily occurrence in the West Bank. Under international law, all Jewish settlements in the occupied territories are considered illegal.
About 650,000 extremist Israelis live in more than 130 settlements that have been built since 1967, when Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds.
