Israeli settlers attack Bedouin community, north of occupied Jerusalem
Israelis from illegal settlements have attacked the Arab al-Ara’ara Bedouin community east of Jaba village in the governorate of Jenin, north of occupied Jerusalem, according to the Wafa news agency.
According to a statement from Hassan Malihat, the general supervisor of the Al-Baidar human rights organisation, a group of settlers targeted the community and assaulted residents, pouring flammable materials on olive trees, which led to a fire in the nearby growth.
Malihat explained that settler attacks had intensified on those living in the Arab al-Ara’ara, which he said were designed to force Palestinians out of their lands and implement the government’s E1 settlement plan.
He also warned that the Bedouin communities east and northeast of occupied Jerusalem were facing a humanitarian disaster due to Israeli policies to push them out.
