A rights group releases video showing masked settlers smashing the windows of a home yesterday in the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya.
Yesh Din rights, which published the footage, says the same home was targeted by settlers the day before, with Israeli security forces doing nothing to apprehend the suspects.
Meanwhile, settlers established an illegal outpost outside Turmus Ayya.
Arrests and prosecutions by Israeli authorities of violent settlers who attack Palestinians in the West Bank are exceedingly rare, leading the US and a growing list of Western countries to begin sanctioning such individuals.
Our documentation via residents of Turmusaya: This morning, settlers attacked a house in the village, a few days after entering without causing harm. Today they came back and vandalized it, in front of a security camera. Several days ago a new outpost has been erected nearby. pic.twitter.com/gv45z6gcd4
