Mass settler attacks in Ramallah

Wednesday 7-June-2023

Dozens of settlers attacked Palestinian residents and their property in Western Mazra’a village northwest of Ramallah on Wednesday evening.

Local residents suffered from teargas inhalation after being suppressed by Israeli occupation forces while confronting the settler attack.

Large parts of Jabal Harasha mountain in the Western Mazra’a were burned during the attack.

Meanwhile the Israeli occupation army’s blockade of the occupied West Bank village of Mughayir in eastern Ramallah entered day 24.

Makeshift checkpoints were set up recently by Israeli forces at the village’s main entrances forcing the local residents to use long and rough routes to reach workplaces and schools.

The village and its residents are exposed to repeated settler attacks. In different incidents extremist Jewish settlers wreaked havoc on olive groves and attacked farmers and their property many times.

Settlers had carried out an arson attack on the village’s mosque in 2014.
