On Wednesday, settler gangs attacked vehicles and farms belonging to citizens in the occupied West Bank, in a continuous escalation of their attacks, most of which now involve the use of weapons.
Settlers attacked farmers in the Wadi Abu Ayash area of the village of Rashayda, and the locals gathered and repelled the attack, while occupation forces were present at the scene.
Settlers smashed a vehicle this morning in the Al-Minya area, southeast of Bethlehem.
The settlers’ attack coincided with the occupation army’s raid on several communities and towns in the governorate.
A security source reported that a group of settlers vandalized a vehicle belonging to citizen Osama Hussein Abayat at the Minya roundabout to the east.
Last night, settlers inaugurated an outpost in the Al-Auja Bedouin community north of Jericho.
This brings the number of outposts in and around the community to 4, in a move that is part of settlement expansion attempts that threaten Bedouin communities in the area.
Settlers set fire to an agricultural shed in Mikhmas, north of Jerusalem.
According to the Al-Baydar human rights organization, the burning of the barracks came in the context of repeated attacks targeting agricultural properties in the vicinity of the town.
The organization called for urgent action to protect residents and their property from ongoing attacks.
According to the Israeli organization “B’Tselem”, the occupation army armed and recruited thousands of settlers in West Bank settlements.
