JERICHO, Friday, October 20, 2023 (WAFA) – Colonial Israeli settlers set a Palestinian-owned residential structure on fire today and destroyed several water pipes near the town of Al-Auja, to the north of Jericho in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Ayman Ghrayib, an activist with the Popular Resistance Committees in the Jordan Valley, informed WAFA that a group of Israeli settlers set fire to a residence belonging to a local Palestinian resdient. They also destroyed water pipes stretching over 800 meters, which irrigate approximately 3,000 dunums of cultivated lands.

Settler violence is commonplace across the occupied West Bank, and is supported and endorsed by the hard-right Israeli government.
