Israeli settlers late on Wednesday evening set fire to Palestinian property in Qasra village south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.
A PIC news correspondent said Israeli settlers launched arson attacks on Palestinian lands and belongings in Qasra sparking terror in the area.
At least 423 Israeli settlement outposts engulf Palestinian towns and communities in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem making up 46% of Palestinian lands.
All settlements across the West Bank are illegal under international law particularly article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention which establishes that the occupying power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
On July 31 2015 settlers set fire to a house in Duma burning Ali Dawabsha an infant alive. Ali’s parents Riham 28 and Sa’ed succumbed to their wounds weeks later. The couple’s seven-year-old son Ahmad is the only remaining survivor of the attack.
Settler violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.
Settlers’ violence includes property and mosque arsons stone-throwing uprooting of crops and olive trees attacks on vulnerable homes among others.
