JERUSALEM, September 10, 2015 (WAFA)
– Israeli extremists last night spray-painted racist graffiti on the walls of
ar-Rahma Islamic cemetery outside Jerusalem’s Old City, according to local
sources.
Shortly after Islamic Waqf personnel discovered the racist anti-Arab graffiti,
the sources added, they attempted to remove it, but were prevented from
continuing their work by Israeli police.
Meanwhile, some 50 Palestinian women protested on Thursday morning at the gates
leading to al-Aqsa Mosque after they were denied entry to the holy site by
Israeli police. Police earlier allowed Jewish fanatics to resume their
provocative visits to the Islamic holy site.
Violence by specific groups of
illegal Jewish settlers is commonplace. They have repeatedly attacked
Palestinian property and worship places. Settlers violence includes property
and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks
on vulnerable homes, among others.
On July 31, a group of Jewish fanatics killed 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh and
seriously injured his entire family, during a predawn arson attack which
targeted two homes in the village of Duma, south of Nablus.
The baby’s father, Sa’ad Dawabsheh, died of his wounds at an Israeli hospital
about a week later, while his mother, Riham, 27, died of her wounds within a
month after the incident.
According to OCHA Protection of civilians Weekly report covering the period
between 18 and 24 of august 2015, “Five Israeli settler attacks resulting in
injury to Palestinians or property damage were recorded, including the stoning
and injury of a six-year-old girl and vandalism to a souvenir shop, both near
Al Ibrahimi Mosque in the Israeli-controlled H2 area of Hebron city.”
Al-Haq human right organization stated that, “Attacks by Israeli settlers in
the occupied West Bank against members of the Palestinian population and their
property are an extensive, long-term, and worsening phenomenon.”
