Israeli occupiers set fire to a Palestinian vehicle and spray-painted racist slogans in Hebrew on walls in the town of Taybeh, east of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank, on Thursday.
Israeli occupiers set fire to a Palestinian vehicle and spray-painted racist slogans in Hebrew on walls in the town of Taybeh, east of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank, on Thursday.
Issa Assi, a resident told Anadolu Agency, that the attack came amid repeated assaults as residents face harassment and are prevented from accessing their land and harvesting olives.
We are worried “because of the settlers, who come at night and burn property,” Assi said.
Local sources said earlier Thursday that the Israeli occupiers attacked the Palestinian town of Atara in the West Bank occupied by the Israeli army.
Dozens of occupiers attacked several Palestinian homes in Atara and assaulted their residents, leaving several people injured, while also smashing vehicles, the sources told Anadolu.

Clashes broke out between residents and occupiers, prompting the Israeli army to enter the town and fire tear gas canisters, stun grenades and live ammunition to protect the occupiers, they added.
Anadolu’s correspondent reported that occupiers also attacked main roads near Ramallah, prompting the Israeli army to close the entrances to the city and causing thousands of vehicles to back up on the roads.
Around 750,000 occupiers live in 156 settlements and 360 outposts across the occupied West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, and carry out attacks aimed at forcibly displacing Palestinians.
The West Bank has seen an escalation in Israeli army raids and occupier violence, including killings, arrests, home demolitions, land leveling and seizures, alongside the expansion of Israeli settlements.
