Israeli settlers today torched a bulldozer and scrawled hate graffiti in Asira al-Qibliya village, southwest of Nablus city, according to a local official. video
Ghassan Daghlas, an official who monitors settlements in the northern West Bank, said that some 20 Israeli settlers sneaked into the village during the night, set fire to a bulldozer and spray-painted hate graffiti threatening vandalism of Palestinian property. He said the settlers, who came from Yitzhar, an illegal settlement inhabited by hardcore fanatic Jews, attacked a house situated on the outskirts of the village. |
The villagers managed to fend off the settlers’ attack, prompting confrontations with Israeli occupation forces who provided protection to the settlers.
The soldiers fired a barrage of stun and tear gas grenades towards the villagers and their houses, causing several to suffocate.
Meanwhile, Israeli settlers slashed tires of three Palestinian vehicles in the Salfit-area village of Yasouf in the north of the West Bank after sneaking into the village during the night, according to local sources.
Settler violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by the Israeli occupation authorities.

An unexploded missile fired by an Israeli warplane was discovered this morning in an elementary school in Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City in the north of the blockaded Gaza Strip, according to witnesses.
Classes, which recently started in Gaza schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine refugees, were immediately suspended and the school evacuated, said WAFA correspondent quoting witnesses, as explosives experts began to dismantle the missile. Israeli warplanes and artillery fired this morning several missiles and shells at various targets in the north and south of Gaza Strip causing heavy damage to the sites and buildings nearby but no injuries. |
Israeli warplanes and artillery attacked targets in the blockaded Gaza Strip early this morning while the fishing rights for Gazans were drastically reduced, reported WAFA correspondent.
He said a warplane fired two missiles at a site west of Gaza City in the north of the Gaza Strip, causing heavy damage to the site and neighboring buildings but no bodily harm. video video
Another fighter jet fired two missiles at agricultural land east of Beit Hanoun, also in the north, causing a deep hole in the ground, and two other missiles at a location east of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip causing damage to property.
Israeli artillery also shelled a location east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip causing heavy damage to the location and nearby property.
At the same time, the Israeli occupation authorities reduced the fishing area for Gaza fishermen and stopped the entry of fuel into Gaza as part of its collective punishment policy against the Gaza Strip and its two million impoverished population.
Israel claims the attacks and collective punishment came following the firing of incendiary balloons from Gaza into bordering Israeli areas that caused fire but not bodily harm.

Israeli warplanes Wednesday early morning bombed several sites across the besieged Gaza Strip, according to WAFA correspondent.
He said that the Israeli fighter jets bombed a site to the southwest of the Gaza city, and another in the city of Rafah in the southern coastal enclave.
Meanwhile, Israeli artillery opened fire on agricultural lands close to al-Bureij refugee camp and to the east of Rafah city.
Last night, Israeli attack helicopters pounded a site in the town of Beit Lahia in the northern coastal enclave.
The attacks resulted in material damages, but no human casualties were reported.
This came in retaliation for the launching of incendiary balloons from the strip towards nearby illegal Israeli settlement, setting lands and crops on fire.
Fourteen years following the Israeli “disengagement” from Gaza, Israel has not actually disengaged from Gaza; it still maintains control of its land borders, access to the sea and airspace.
Two million Palestinians live the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a punishing and crippling Israeli blockade for 12 years and repeated onslaughts that have heavily damaged much of the enclave’s infrastructure.
Gaza’s 2-million population remains under “remote control” occupation and a strict siege, which has destroyed the local economy, strangled Palestinian livelihoods, plunged them into unprecedented rates of unemployment and poverty, and cut off from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories and the wider world.
Gaza remains occupied territory, having no control over its borders, territorial waters or airspace.
Meanwhile, Israel upholds very few of its responsibilities as the occupying power, failing to provide for the basic needs of Palestinian civilians living in the territory.
Every two in three Palestinians in Gaza is a refugee from lands inside what is now Israel. That government forbids them from exercising their right to return as enshrined in international law because they are not Jews.
