Witnesses reported that on Tuesday night Israeli settlers launched an attack on Palestinian households and cars in Khirbet Emreha, an area of Yabad situated to the south of Jenin, as well as sealing off the nearby major road which links the Jenin and Tulkarem districts.
WAFA reported that Israeli settlers, under Israeli forces support, hurled rocks at homes and vehicles owned by Palestinians which resulted in some vehicles being damaged.
The settlers additionally shouted hostile slogans toward Arabs, inciting death upon them.
The Israeli human rights group B’Tselem stated that destruction of property by Israeli settlers in the Occupied West Bank regularly occurs with the full support of the Israeli government.
B’Tselem stated that settler violence and vandalism occur with explicit approval by the Israeli authorities. Sometimes Israeli forces partake in the assaults, other times they merely watch with indifference. Additionally, the Israeli police fail to diligently carry out investigations involving these incidents, as well as fail to take steps to prevent or impede them while they are occurring.
B’Tselem commented that the Israeli occupation has advantages from the consequences of settler aggression, which have caused Palestinians to lose control of larger and larger tract of land in the West Bank, opening a path for the state to seize this land and its resources.
