Israeli colonists steal vehicle, solar panels from southern West Bank town

Israeli colonists Tuesday stole a vehicle and solar panels from the Kisan reserve, east of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, according to a local activist. Ahmad Ghazal said that colonists stole a vehicle and solar panels as part of their frequent attacks against the inhabitants of Kisan. Colonists' violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities. Colonists' violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on vulnerable homes, among others. Over 700,000 Israeli colonists are living in colonies across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law. Source: Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA
