Israeli settlers set homes on fire, smashed cars and beat several people in a wave of attacks on Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank this weekend, witnesses and local rights groups said.
The Palestinian WAFA news agency reported that settlers stormed the village of Fandaqumiya and the town of Seilat al-Dahr, south of Jenin, late on Saturday. Other attacks were reported in the agricultural regions of Masafer Yatta and the Jordan Valley.
In the village of Fandaqumiya, a group of settlers set vehicles ablaze and smashed windows on houses, WAFA reported, citing local sources. In the central West Bank, at least three people were injured in a stone-throwing attack. In various parts of Nablus, 30 settlers targeted the al-Masoudiya archaeological area and set fire to a tourist tent, the agency reported.
