Israeli Settlers, Protected by Troops, Attack Palestinian Homes in West Bank
Settlers physically assaulted Palestinians during the rampage in Khalayel Al-Loz, southeast of Bethlehem, hurled stones at homes and broke the windshields of several cars.
According to the report, the attack occurred as Israeli soldiers stood meters away and watched on.
Incidents of sabotage and violence by settlers against Palestinians and their property have become daily throughout the occupied territories, particularly in the West Bank. Jewish extremists continue their acts of vandalism, known as price tag attacks, against Palestinian properties.
However, Israeli authorities rarely prosecute settlers, and the vast majority of the files are closed due to deliberate police failure to investigate them properly.
Settler violence includes property and mosque arson attacks, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on vulnerable homes.
Israeli settlers have noticeably escalated attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in recent months.
