Nablus: Israeli colonists Wednesday evening attacked Palestinians' vehicles north of Madama village, located to the south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to local sources. They said that colonists barged their way into the top part of a bridge, north of the village, sealed off the bypass road and attacked vehicles with Palestinian registration plates, but without resulting in casualties.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, 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.
There are over 700,000 Israeli colonists living in colonies in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
