SALFIT, Sunday, October 13, 2019 (WAFA) – Extremist Israeli settlers last night punctured the tires of five Palestinian-owned vehicles and spray-painted racist slogans in the village of Marda, in the center of the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

The sources told WAFA that the settlers sneaked their way into the village, punctured the tires of parked vehicles and spray-painted racist graffiti and slogans on vehicles and houses.

Israeli settler violence against Palestinians and their property is commonplace in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities. It includes arsons of property and mosques, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.

Over 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law.
