Ramallah raid: Israeli settlers launch brutal attack, set fire to Palestinian homes, cars
Hundreds of Israeli settlers conducted a brutal attack in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah.
The settlers set fire to numerous homes and vehicles of Palestinians and then moved to the main road connecting Ramallah to other cities, targeting Palestinian cars passing by.
They stormed the city of al-Bireh, near Ramallah, and burned Palestinian property and vehicles.
A woman sustained injuries after the settlers hurled stones at her vehicle, according to Palestinian news outlets.
Tension has been running high across the West Bank because of Israel’s genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, which has killed at least 43,341 people, mostly women and children, since last year’s October.
The Monday settler attack came as the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas warned of Israel’s plans to annex the West Bank and drive Palestinians out.
“We warn of the grave danger posed by the plans led by the extremist occupation regime and illegal settler groups to displace the residents of Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank,” Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi said.
Israel's far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich called for the full annexation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip last week.
Smotrich asserted that Israel should unequivocally declare there would be no Palestinian state.
He repeated his proposal of expanding Israeli settlements within the West Bank and other occupied territories.
