Israeli Settlers Attack Palestinian Vehicles, Homes in West Bank

According to local witnesses, a group of extremist settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles near the road linking Jenin and Nablus, where Israeli settlers threw stones at them and smashed their vehicles.

Meanwhile, another group of extremist Israeli settlers attacked the homes of Palestinian citizens located on the outskirts of the town of Burqa.

The settlers opened fire at the houses, smashed windows and proceeded to terrorize the local residents.

Ziad Abu Omar, the Council Chief of Burqa, said dozens of settlers who had returned to the nearby illegal West Bank outpost of Homesh, were responsible for the attack.

He said, “The settlers divided themselves into groups, with one group attacking homes with stones and other damaging cars". 

“When the locals tried to help the families who were under settler attack, the Israeli Occupation army arrived and targeted the residents with tear gas canisters.”
