Israeli forces and illegal settlers carried out 2,350 attacks across the occupied West Bank last month, according to The Palestinian Authority’s Commission against the Wall and Settlements.
A Wafa news agency report cited Mu’ayyad Sha’ban, head of the commission, as saying that Israeli forces carried out 1,584 of those attacks, noting that the total number of attacks were concentrated in the governorates of Ramallah and al-Bireh (542), Nablus (412) and Hebron (401).
“The commission’s monthly report showed that the attacks included direct physical assaults, uprooting of trees, burning of fields and preventing olive pickers from accessing their lands, in addition to seizing property and demolishing homes and agricultural facilities, at a time when the occupation forces close off large areas of Palestinian land under the pretext of ‘security measures’, while settlers are being enabled to expand within them,” the report added.
