Israel settlers damage Palestinian property in East al-Quds, West Bank
According to reports on Wednesday, 14 Palestinian cars were set ablaze in the East al-Quds areas of Shu'afat and Sheikh Jarrah.
 
The attackers also inflicted damage on houses and agricultural machinery in the West Bank villages of Zbeidat and Marj Naja.
 
In April, Israeli settlers desecrated two Palestinian mosques on the outskirts of the city of Bethlehem in the West Bank.
 
In recent years, extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank have often assaulted Palestinians and vandalized their property under the so-called “price tag” policy. However, the Tel Aviv regime rarely detains the assailants.
 
The Israeli regime maintains a defiant stand on the issue of its illegal settlements on Palestinian land as it refuses to freeze settlement expansion. Tel Aviv has come under repeated and widespread international condemnation over the issue.
 
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds.
