Several injured as illegal Zionist settlers attack Palestinians in West Bank

Several Palestinian citizens, including two women, have been injured after a group of illegal Zionist settlers armed with sticks and rocks attacked homes in the occupied West Bank.

Fouad al-Amour, coordinator of the local Protection and Resilience Committee, which monitors Israeli violations in the area, said that the illegal settlers escorted by regime soldiers hurled rocks at homes in Burin town, south of Nablus and assaulted local residents on Saturday evening, Palestine's official Wafa news agency reported on Saturday.

Several young Palestinian men were injured as they tried to fend off the illegal settlers and defend themselves. At least two women were among those injured in the assault.

Youssef Awad, one of the local residents said that the settlers brutally assaulted him, his wife and another woman by beating them with sticks.

In a separate incident, the Israeli regime forces assaulted Palestinian olive farmers in Qaryut village, south of Nablus.

Zionists expelled farmers from their own olive grove and prevented them from harvesting the crop.

Various attacks on Palestinian property, including arson and graffiti, have become a daily occurrence throughout the occupied territories, particularly in the West Bank.

The UN Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator office in the Palestinian territories documented 287 incidents assaults by the illegal settlers in the West Bank and al-Quds in which Palestinian properties were damaged since the start of this year.

For years, the Zionist entity has clearly allowed its illegal settlers to assault Palestinians and inflict damage on their property as one of its policies. This has included provision of military protection for the attackers, and in some cases troopers' active participation in the assault.
