Armed settlers attacked a number of citizens' homes in the town of Surif, northwest of Hebron, on Friday.
Abdullah Ghneimat, a member of the Surif Municipal Council, told the official news agency, WAFA, that dozens of armed settlers from the Beit Ayin settlement, built on the town’s lands, attacked, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, the homes of citizens in the Deir al-Nil area, and fired live bullets at them.
He added that the settlers broke the windows and glass of three houses belonging to the Ghneimat family with stones, and set fire to the surrounding area. If it were not for the vigilance of the citizens, the fire would have destroyed those houses.
It is noteworthy that the citizens in that area are constantly exposed to attacks by the colonists, with the aim of forcibly displacing them from their lands and seizing them for the benefit of colonial expansion.
