Occupied Jerusalem – Extremist Israeli settlers Saturday night vandalized a number of Palestinian-owned vehicles near Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
Last night, local sources reported, a number of colonial settlers vandalized several Palestinian-owned vehicles parked on the American Consulate street near the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood after breaking into the area.
The settlers also smashed the windows and slashed the tyres of the vehicles before fleeing the scene.
There has been a sharp spike in settler violence against Palestinians and their properties in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The violent acts include beating, throwing stones, issuing threats, torching fields, destroying trees and crops, stealing crops, using live fire, and damaging homes and cars.
There are nearly 700,000 Israeli settlers living in 256 illegal settlements across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. Israeli settlements are illegal under international law.
