Arrests, burning of vehicles, and racist graffiti in the West Bank and Jerusalem

Israeli occupation forces arrested two citizens on Wednesday, while settlers burned vehicles and spray-painted racist slogans in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.

In Ramallah, settlers infiltrated the village of Rammun at dawn, burning several vehicles and spray-painting racist slogans on residents' homes.

Yesterday, settlers attacked the homes of citizens in Qaryut, south of Nablus, and burned and destroyed seven vehicles. They also burned agricultural crops in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah.

During April, settlers carried out 231 acts of vandalism and theft of citizens' property, affecting vast areas of land. Settler attacks also resulted in the uprooting of 1,168 olive trees, distributed across the governorates of Ramallah (530 trees), Nablus (300 trees), and Salfit (298 trees).

Meanwhile, the occupation army arrested the young man Qais Muhammad Najeh Abu Qara’ (23) years old, and the two children: Abdul Rahman Iyad Hanoun (15) years old, and Muhammad Awad Ladadwa (15) years old, after storming their homes and tampering with their contents in the village of Al-Mazra’a Al-Gharbiya.

In Tulkarm, the occupation forces arrested Hazem Fathi Qarawi (38 years old), a resident of Nour Shams camp and one of the displaced persons to Anabta, noting that he is a former detainee.

In occupied Jerusalem, Israeli special forces assaulted young man Mohammed al-Khatib at his home in the Shuafat refugee camp, in front of his family and children, leaving him with injuries and bruises.
