Settlers seize Palestinian building, damage crops in W. Bank

WEST BANK (Palestine Foundation Information Center) A horde of extremist Jewish settlers stormed and took over a Palestinian-owned residential building in Turmus Ayya town, northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, on Monday morning.

Local sources described the seizure of this building by settlers as “another aggressive practice aimed at expanding settlement activity and imposing a new fait accompli in the area.”

In a separate incident, another group of settlers released their livestock onto swaths of cultivated land belonging to Palestinian farmers in the Masafer Yatta’s village of Tuba in southern al-Khalil, resulting in extensive damage to crops and property.
