Settlers torch Palestinian property as violence continues in Hebron

On the night between the 11th and the 12th of December, settlers burnt and damaged Palestinian cars and attempted to torch a Palestinian house in the city of Hebron.

The Tel Rumeida neighbourhood was attacked by settlers from 11.30pm until 3am in the morning. The settlers burnt and damaged at least two Palestinian cars, and also tried to burn down the house of the Adeis family, setting trees situated next to the house on fire. During their attack the settlers shot at the Palestinians, their houses and other Palestinian property.

The Palestinians in Hebron are being harassed, attacked and shot at by settlers on a daily basis. The aggression from settlers has become worse than usual during the last couple of weeks since the settler-occupied house, “Beit Rajabi”, was evicted on the 4th of December. Since then, settlers all over Hebron have been engaging in a ‘price-tag’ campaign. As usual, Palestinians are paying the price and while the settlers almost every night are attacking Palestinians residents and property, the Israeli army in Hebron are merely watching or just being not present when settlers attack.
