On Thursday night, a group of illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers burnt a Palestinian bulldozer and a store, hurled stones at cars and homes, in Bazaria village, northwest of Nablus in the occupied West Bank’s northern part.
Media sources said the colonizers invaded the main entrance area of the village before hurling stones at cars, causing damage, and blocked the nearby Jenin-Nablus Road.
The sources added that the colonizers burnt a Palestinian car and a store, attacked and hurled stones at several homes in the town, before fleeing.
Israeli soldiers were present in the area during the attack, and set up various roadblocks, restricting the movement of the Palestinians.
On Wednesday, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers burnt large areas of Palestinian lands, electricity poles, closed roads leading to farmlands, and fired live rounds at the Palestinians in Yasuf village, east of Salfit, in the occupied West Bank’s central part.
In related news, the Israeli District Court in occupied Jerusalem rejected, Thursday, the appeal of four Palestinian Jerusalemite families against eviction rulings in the Batn Al-Hawa neighborhood in Silwan, south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in the occupied Palestinian capital, Jerusalem, in the West Bank.
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”.
