The West Bank has seen an “alarming” rise in attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in recent weeks, according to a Friday report.
The Haaretz daily reported there had been over 100 cases of nationalistic crimes by Jewish settlers, mostly in the northern West Bank, in the last 10 days.
The report did not define what was classified as an individual incident.
“In recent weeks, the security establishment has identified an alarming increase in acts of violence by settlers throughout the West Bank,” the report said.
Settlers have been seen attacking Palestinian civilians, homes, and storefronts in the town of Huwara close to Nablus, reportedly after Israeli vehicles driving through the area have come under stone-throwing attacks. READ MORE
