Nablus: Israeli colonists on Wednesday evening attacked Palestinian-licensed vehicles south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to local sources. They reported that colonists hurled stones at Palestinian-registered vehicles passing near the Yitzhar colony.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency, colonists' violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities. The violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.
Approximately 1 million Israeli colonists are living in colonies in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in violation of international law.
