On Saturday and Sunday, illegal Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian citizens and their property in several areas of the occupied West Bank.

Illegal Israeli colonizers assaulted, on Saturday afternoon, three Palestinian young men in the village of ’Asira al-Qibliya, south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.

Media sources said that a group of colonizers and a guard from the illegal “Yitzhar” colony, erected a military roadblock at the entrance to the village, pulled three young men out of their vehicle, and proceeded to assault them.

It was added that the settlers, while wearing religious garments, threatened to burn the vehicle of the young men if they returned to the area.

Meanwhile, in the southern West Bank, armed paramilitary colonists attacked Palestinian children in the village of Al-Mufaqara, in Masafer Yatta south of Hebron.

Media sources said that armed illegal settlers hurled rocks at Palestinian shepherds, injuring a child and many of his livestock.

It was added that the colonizers also assaulted another child, causing various bruises.

Before dawn on Sunday, a group of Israeli settlers vandalized Palestinian-owned property in the town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank.


Colonizers burned a vehicle belonging to Munther Amin al-Hindi, vandalized homes, and scrawled racist statements on citizens’ homes.
