Settler extremists attack Palestinian village in West Bank — reports

Settler extremists are reportedly attacking the Palestinian village of Susya in the southern West Bank, slashing tires and smashing car windows.

Footage posted to social media also shows a hole drilled in a water tank.

The incident comes against the background of a series of severe violent attacks perpetrated by Israeli extremists against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.

Israeli authorities have been accused of turning a blind eye to claims of rampant settler violence, particularly since the start of the Gaza war, with many attributing the lack of response to the government’s far-right flank, including former police minister Itamar Ben Gvir, a lawyer known for defending settlers accused of violent attacks.

I’m surrounded now by armed and masked settlers, who are leading a terror attack on Masafer Yatta as I write.
