‘This is what ethnic cleansing looks like’: Israeli rights group says of settler attacks
Yesh Din, an Israeli rights group working in the occupied Palestinian territory, has shared video clips of the deadly Israeli settler attack on the Palestinian communities of Kfar Malek, as well as the attack on Taybeh, in the occupied West Bank.
At least three people were killed in Kfar Malek after more than 100 Israeli settlers stormed the village, in the presence of Israeli soldiers, and set fire to several Palestinian homes and opened fire on local residents.
Earlier, masked settlers set Palestinian homes and cars on fire near Taybeh junction. In security camera footage of the Taybeh attack, Yesh Din notes that “the perpetrators can be heard speaking Hebrew to each other.”
“Under the approval of the government and the military, settler violence in the West Bank becomes deadlier from day to day,” the rights group said.
“This is what ethnic cleansing looks like,” it added.
