Report: Israeli forces, settlers carried out over 2000 attacks across West Bank last month

Israeli forces and settlers carried out 2,350 attacks across the occupied West Bank last month, Wafa news agency reported, citing the Palestinian Authority’s Colonisation and Wall Resistance Commission.

The organisation’s head, Mu’ayyad Sha’ban, said Israeli forces carried out 1,584 of the attacks, including 542 in the Ramallah and al-Bireh governorate, 412 in Nablus and 401 in Hebron.

“The commission’s monthly report showed that the attacks included direct physical assaults, uprooting of trees, burning of fields and preventing olive pickers from accessing their lands, in addition to seizing property and demolishing homes and agricultural facilities, at a time when the occupation forces close off large areas of Palestinian land under the pretext of ‘security measures’, while settlers are being enabled to expand within them,” the report said.
