NABLUS, Saturday, August 24, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists Saturday evening attacked Rujeib village, east of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to local sources.

They said that colonists carried out an attack on Khallet al-Abhar locality, east of the village, prompting the villagers to fend off the attack and triggering confrontations.

There was no immediately available information on any casualty.

Colonist violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli occupation authorities.

Colonist violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.

Over 700,000 Israeli colonists are living in colonies across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law.
