The Palestinian Authority on Monday accused settlers of exhuming bodies and of vandalizing property with racist graffiti in a village near Nablus in the West Bank.
Ghassan Daghlas, a PA official in charge of monitoring settler activity, also alleged that settlers damaged a tractor and several plant nurseries, Ma’an reported.
The West Bank has been especially tense since Yitzhar resident Evyatar Borowsky was killed in late April by a knife-wielding Palestinian attacker while waiting for a bus at the Tapuah Junction.
The killing led to a series of attacks and counterattacks by groups of settlers and Arabs from neighboring villages.
On Saturday, some 50 settlers and Palestinian clashed in the village of Burin until security forces dispersed the brawl with tear gas and other crowd-control measures.
