RAMALLAH, Friday, May 17, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists Thursday night assaulted a Palestinian truck driver and torched his vehicle to the east of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, according to local sources.

They said that dozens of colonists from the Israeli colony of Kochav Ha’shachar, east of Ramallah, intercepted a Palestinian truck driver and attacked him before setting the truck on fire.

The driver was moderately injured.

Israeli media sources claimed that the mob of colonists attacked the driver after they suspected that he was carrying humanitarian aid to the blockaded war-torn Gaza Strip.

Colonist mobs blocked and vandalized over 25 trucks on Thursday and Wednesday, assuming that they were delivering desperately needed humanitarian aid meant for the starving population of Gaza

Video footages that have gone viral on social media show Israeli colonists throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground and setting at least a truck ablaze.
