On Wednesday at dawn, a group of illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers infiltrated the village of Rammun, east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank’s central part. They wrote racist graffiti and burnt two cars.
Media sources said the colonizers stormed an area in the village earlier at dawn before commencing their attack. They added that the colonizers damaged and burnt several parked cars and wrote racist graffiti on walls and several homes.
On Tuesday, the colonizers burnt crops in al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah, in addition to attacking Palestinian homes and burning seven cars in Qaryout village, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
It is worth mentioning that last month, the colonizers carried out 231 attacks in the occupied West Bank, including destruction of property, theft of tools and agricultural equipment, and the uprooting of 1,168 olive trees: 530 in Ramallah, 300 in Nablus, and 298 in Salfit.
Early Tuesday, Israeli paramilitary colonizers launched a new wave of attacks on Al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah, setting fire to Palestinian farmland.
They also assaulted Palestinian photojournalist, Essam Rimawi, causing several injuries, before local medics rushed him to a hospital.
Also Tuesday, Israeli occupation forces uprooted olive trees in Sinjil town, north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank’s central part, as part of ongoing illegal land confiscation policies in the occupied territories.
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”.
