Israeli settlers and soldiers launch attacks in West Bank’s Bethlehem, Jericho
Israeli settlers have again stormed the village of Shallal al-Auja north of Jericho in the occupied West Bank and grazed their livestock inside Palestinian land and property.
A local Bedouin rights official told the Wafa news agency that settlers have continued their incursions from an illegal outpost nearby, and are trying to exploit Palestinian water sources, as well.
Meanwhile, in Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem, Israeli soldiers launched a new raid today after killing a 31-year-old Palestinian man in the area, whose body is still being held by the Israeli authorities.
Another raid was reported in the town of Burqin, west of Jenin, where several Palestinian homes were ransacked by Israeli forces.
