Gaza: Israeli colonists on Friday morning stole Palestinian-owned sheep from Beita, south of Nablus, according to local sources. They reported that colonists, protected by Israeli occupation soldiers, broke into ad-Dhahara and al-Hara at-Tahta neighborhoods of the town, attacked several homes, and stole a number of sheep from the area.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, colonists' violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities. This violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.
Approximately 1 million Israeli colonists are living in colonies in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in violation of international law.
