Settlers filmed entering Palestinian village, harassing locals in near-daily occurrence

Residents of the Palestinian village of Fasa’il publish footage showing settlers driving an ATV into their hamlet late Monday night, blasting the horn and shining bright lights into homes.

The ATV used in the footage appears to be of the same model gifted by the government last year to illegal farming outposts in the West Bank with the stated goal of “strengthening the resilience” of such unlawful communities and “deepening” Israeli control of the territory.

Another clip shows a water pipeline after it was broken apart by settlers, according to Fasa’il residents.

פסאיל, תחום השיפוט של תומר, לפני שעה קלה.

ביקור לילי (לשים סאונד) + פגיעה בצינורות מים.

מישהו מאוד נחוש לפנות את משפחת עביאת.
מאוד.

Such harassment is reported and documented on a near-daily basis in Palestinian villages located adjacent to Israeli outposts that have mushroomed across the West Bank over the past two and a half years.

Almost no enforcement against the harassment is carried out by Israeli authorities, who villagers say oftentimes arrive at the scene too late and then end up arresting the Palestinian locals, rather than the settler instigators.

Hundreds of families have decided to flee their homes rather than put up with the persistent violence, with extremist settler activists celebrating the developments, claiming they are part of their agenda to take over more West Bank land.
