Settlers ’emboldened’ by Israeli forces in targeting Palestinians
Israeli settler attacks in the occupied West Bank during harvest season have been a regular occurrence for years now, Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim says.
“They’re emboldened by Israeli forces who often allow them to carry out their assaults. Now, they are more organised, more systematic. “Barely a harvesting journey goes by … without a settler attack,” she said, adding that international activists who come to help are not “spared either”.
Resident Yahya al-Araj, a survivor of a previous attack, says settlers “come and burn the trees or rip them up from their roots” every year. “For at least five years in a row, that’s what they did. And finally, they took the land and they put their settlers on it.”
