Ramallah/PNN/

Israeli extremest settlers Sunday caused damages to several agricultural rooms, and stole some of its contents in lands belonging to the village of Silwad, east of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah.

Local sources said that a group of settlers broke into Palestinian-owned lands in the area of al-Burj, and proceeded to ransack and cause damages to three agricultural rooms and steal engines.

The sources added that the targeted area is an archaeological area that is frequently targeted by the fanatic settlers.

Extremist Israeli settlers’ violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.

Settlers' violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.

Between 500,000 and 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law.

All settlements across the West Bank are illegal under international law, particularly article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which establishes that the occupying power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
