Bethlehem/PNN/

Illegal Israeli settlers last night hurled stones at Palestinian vehicles outside the village of Tuqu in the occupied West Bank province of Bethlehem, causing damage but no injuries, according to local sources.

Witnesses told said that a group of army-guarded Israeli settlers flocked to the entrance to the village and embarked on hurling stones at Palestinian vehicles passing at the street. The attack resulted in damages to vehicles.

It was the latest in an ongoing wave of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians across the occupied West Bank, in a series of attacks backed by the Israeli occupation forces.

Violence by Israeli settlers is commonplace in the occupied West Bank, and is rarely prosecuted by the occupation authorities.
