Extremist Jewish settlers attacked homes in Madama town in southern Nablus on Sunday as well as cars on the road between Nablus and Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
According to local sources, settlers from the illegal settlement of Yitzhar attacked Palestinian homes on the outskirts of Madama town in the presence of Israeli soldiers, who prevented local residents from reaching the area to fend off the attackers.
Meanwhile, another group of settlers hurled stones at Palestinian cars traveling on the road between Nablus and Ramallah and pepper-sprayed passengers after forcing some cars to stop.
Settler violence against Palestinians is a daily issue in the West Bank. Instead of taking action to combat their crimes, the Israeli military and security authorities aid and abet settlers in harming Palestinians, destroying their property and seizing their lands.
