Israeli settlers have launched a series of violent attacks on Palestinian communities in the West Bank over the past few days. On Friday, settlers assaulted a Palestinian shepherd and an Israeli activist, smashing the shepherd's car windows and beating both individuals. Settlers also attacked a Palestinian youth near Mount Ebal, south of Nablus, set fire to olive trees in Burqa, east of Ramallah, and assaulted Palestinian vehicles near Burin with IDF assistance. On Monday, settlers attacked Deir Dibwan, injuring at least seven Palestinians and damaging an ambulance. These incidents are part of a continuing pattern of violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinian villages, with the police reportedly standing by without intervening.
