JERUSALEM, March 31, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists Monday torched an UNRWA-owned plot of land in the occupied West Bank city of Jerusalem, according to local sources.

They said that colonists set fire to a plot of land belonging to the United Nations Agency for Palestine Refugees after sabotaging the barbed wire fence surrounding it in Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

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

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

Approximately 1 million Israeli colonists are living in colonies in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in violation of international law.
