Several Palestinian cars vandalized by Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank
Scores of extremist Jewish settlers have vandalized several private vehicles in the central part of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, slashing the tires of a number of parked cars and spraying racist graffiti on them.
Bassam Ibdah, deputy head of Marda village council, said a group of settlers sneaked into the village, located 18 kilometers southwest of Nablus, early on Monday, and vandalized at least seven vehicles belonging to local residents.
On October 14, a group of Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles south of Nablus.
Ghassan Daghlas, the Palestinian Authority (PA) official in charge of monitoring Israeli settlement policy in the northern part of the West Bank, said the settlers pelted the cars with stones on the road linking Nablus to Ramallah. There were no reports of casualties.
Aisha Muhammad Talal al-Rabi, 47, a mother of eight children, was killed and her husband suffered injuries on October 12 after Israeli settlers hurled rocks at their vehicle near the Zaatara checkpoint in Nablus.
On August 19, a Palestinian man and his three children suffered injuries when a group of extremist settlers violently pelted their car with stones in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.
Local sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Palestinian Information Center that Munder Mousa, a resident of Tulkarem City, and his children were travelling along a road south of Nablus, located approximately 49 kilometers (30 miles) north of Jerusalem al-Quds, when settlers from Yitzhar settlement who had laid an ambush started hurling stones at the car.
The settlers also used a vehicle to block the road before carrying out their assault.
Mousa finally managed to drive away with his children. He arrived in Madama village, located 4.78 kilometers (3 miles) south of Nablus, and was given first aid before being transported to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus.
Price tag attacks are acts of vandalism and violence against Palestinians and their property as well as Islamic holy sites by Israeli settlers.
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 settlements built since Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank in 1967. This is while much of the international community considers the settler units illegal and subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbid construction on occupied lands.
