On Monday evening, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers burnt Palestinian agricultural lands and a barn, and injured a man, northwest and south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank’s northern part.
Media sources said many colonizers from the illegal Homesh colony, built on stolen Palestinian lands, attacked many Palestinian homes, burnt farmlands and a barn in the Ras Al-Mohallal area, east of the Burqa village, northwest of Nablus.
They added that the colonizers were accompanied by Israeli soldiers who closed the area and did not attempt to stop them.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said one Palestinian suffered concussions and bruises after falling from a height while the colonizers were chasing him.
In addition, the colonizers attacked Palestinian cars and hurled stones at them near Huwwara town, south of Nablus.
All of Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention in addition to various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.
Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory”.
