RAMALLAH / Qais Abu Samra / Anadolu

Israeli settlers, on Thursday dawn, burned a vehicle and a tractor belonging to Palestinians during an attack on the town of Ramin east of Tulkarm, northern occupied West Bank, according to eyewitnesses.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that settlers stormed the town of Ramin and set fire to a vehicle and a tractor, causing them to burn.

They added that the settlers attempted to burn other vehicles and homes, but residents confronted them and, with the support of civil defense teams, managed to extinguish the fires and prevent them from spreading.

The attack did not result in any injuries, according to the witnesses.

About 750,000 settlers live in 141 settlements and 224 outposts in the occupied West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, and they commit attacks with the aim of forcibly displacing Palestinians.

During the first half of this year, settlers committed 3,488 attacks against Palestinians and their property, according to a report issued by the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission on July 6.

The attacks included attacking Palestinian villages, burning homes, shooting, seizing lands, and establishing settlement outposts, resulting in the deaths of 17 Palestinians.

Palestinians warn that Israel is using these attacks to pave the way for formally annexing the West Bank, which would undermine the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state as stipulated in relevant UN resolutions.

In 1948, Israel was established on lands occupied by armed Zionist militias that committed massacres and displaced at least 750,000 Palestinians; then Israel occupied the rest of the Palestinian territories and refuses to withdraw.
