RAMALLAH, Tuesday, August 22, 2023 (WAFA) – An Israeli settler today grazed his livestock in private Palestinian lands in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah city, said local sources.

Sources informed WAFA that an Israeli settler raided Palestinian land to the Norwest of the said town and released and grazed his livestock there before leaving the area.

"Settler violence has long since become part of Palestinians’ daily life under occupation. Israeli security forces enable these actions, which result in Palestinian casualties – injuries and fatalities – as well as damage to land and property. In some cases, they even serve as an armed escort, or join in the attacks," said the Israeli information center for human rights in occupied territories, B’Tselem.

"Investigations, if even opened, are usually closed with no action taken against perpetrators as part of an undeclared policy of leniency. The long-term effect of this violence is the dispossession of Palestinians from increasing parts of the West Bank, making it easier for Israel to take over land and resources," said B'Tselem.
