Some cars reportedly sustained material damage in the stone-throwing attack.

An increase in Israeli settlers’ aggression against Palestinians and their properties in the West Bank compared to recent years, Alray reported.
The Israeli paper Haaretz published data from Israeli security institutions that documented 256 cases of Israeli settlers’ aggression against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli security services expressed their concerns regarding the increased level of settler violence, and the audacity of Israeli officials for destroying property and spraying racist slogans on the walls (activities known as “paying the price tag”).
Israeli security sources warned that the increase in settler violence during the last two weeks, and the increase in the destruction of Palestinian properties, must remind us of the incidents that preceded the arson attack against the Palestinian Dawabshe family in Douma village in 2015.
The security services noted that the 160 incidents of puncturing tires of Palestinian vehicles in the Shuafat neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem last Sunday, is a clear evidence to Israeli boldness in the destruction of Palestinian properties.
Security services explained that puncturing tires occurred in five areas of the neighborhood, which means a greater number of settlers participated in the aggression.
It was also noted that Israeli settler’s leadership did not denounce the attacks, on the contrary, they encourage the settlers act with violence, with the goal of forcing the Palestinians to leave.
Many slogans and sabotage of property occurred in the second half of 2019.
Israeli security sources estimated that those responsible for spraying slogans and destroying property are dozens of young settlers, most between 14 and 19 years old.
They say that they come from all over “Israel” once they have dropped out schools, and that many of them remain in settlement sites in the West Bank without parental authority.
Sources of the Israeli security services estimated that a quarter of the cases that were identified as “violent events” originated from Yitzhar settlement, south of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
These sources have referred to Yitzhar as the beating heart of the extreme Israeli right, and the source of the perpetrators of many violent operations against Palestinians in the West Bank and the occupied territories in 1948.

Illegal Israeli settlers, on Saturday night, vandalized a number of bulldozers that were parked at the site of a road working project in the Jordan Valley region, the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported.
Salah Zayed, the project contractor, said that he and staff of the company were shocked to see that Jewish settlers had filled the fuel tanks with sand, making the bulldozers inoperative.
He said the attack occurred in the area classified as Area A, under the security and civil control of the Palestinian Authority.
Settler violence is commonplace across the occupied West Bank, and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities as the Palestinian Authority has no jurisdiction over Israeli settlers.

According to Alray, Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, on Tuesday, condemned the ongoing Israeli violations against the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ Al-Haram Al-Sharif.
One of the most recent violations was by a former Knesset member, performing Talmudic rituals at the entrance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, accompanied by a group of extremists and then storming the Al-Aqsa (Al-Haram Al-Sharif) under the protection of Israeli police. video
The ministry’s spokesperson, Dhaif Allah Al Fayez said Israel’s actions are rejected and constitute a provocation to Muslims around the world, and a violation of Israel’s obligations as the occupying Power in accordance with the international law.
Al Fayez warned of the continuation of these violations, and called for an end to the provocations, and called for Israel to respect the historical and legal status quo, stressing that the Al-Aqsa Mosque, with a full area of 144 dunams, is a place of worship for Muslims only.

Dozens of Jewish settlers escorted by police forces on Thursday morning stormed the Aqsa Mosque and desecrated its courtyards.
80 settlers, including 20 military soldiers, 38 institute and university students and one employee from the Israeli antiquities authority entered the Mosque through al-Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards in morning hours, according to the Islamic Awqaf Authority in Occupied Jerusalem.
The Aqsa Mosque is exposed to daily desecration by Jewish settlers and police forces in the morning and the afternoon except on Fridays and Saturdays.
The Israeli police close al-Maghariba Gate, which is used by Jews to enter the Mosque, at 10:30 am after the settlers complete their morning tours at the holy site. Later in the afternoon, the same gate is reopened for evening tours by settlers.
During the presence of settlers inside the Mosque compound, entry restrictions are imposed on Muslim worshipers at the entrances leading to the Mosque and their IDs are seized until they leave the holy place.

In the village of Manshiet Zibdeh, located in what is now Israel, a mosque was defaced with racist graffiti on Thursday morning, and cars parked at the mosque had their tires punctured. video
Israeli police were called in by the Imam of the Mosque when the graffiti was found, but they failed to carry out any kind of investigation or locate the assailant.
This was considered to be a “price tag” attack, which is a tactic used by Israeli right-wing settlers to, as they claim, make Palestinians ‘pay a price’ for living on their ancestral land – land which the Israeli settlers want to take over.
In a similar attack toward the end of last month, about 70 vehicles had their tires slashed in the town of Jaljulia in Israel.
