Colonists attack Palestinian vehicles northwest of Ramallah

RAMALLAH: Israeli colonists today attacked Palestinian vehicles close to Shuqba village, northwest of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, according to eyewitnesses. They said that dozens of armed colonists attacked vehicles with Palestinian registration plates travelling on Road 465 close to the entrance of the village, hurling stones towards them. Colonist violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli occupation authorities. Colonist violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on vulnerable homes, among others. Over 700,000 Israeli colonists are living in colonies across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law. Source: Palestine news & Information Agency - WAFA
