NABLUS, Thursday, April 9, 2020 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers vandalized last night several tombstones in a Palestinian cemetery in the village of Burqa, north of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, said a local official.

Settlers sneaked into the village from the evacuated settlement of Homesh and vandalized several tombstones in the village cemetery, said Ghassan Daghlas, who is monitoring settlers’ activities in the north of the West Bank.

The settlers took advantage of the lockdown and orders to stay home in several West Bank villages in an effort to stop the spread of the deadly global coronavirus disease to sneak into the village and vandalize the cemetery.

Settlers’ sabotage of Palestinian property and assaults against civilians in the occupied territories is rampant and almost daily.
