‘They burned everything’: Israeli settlers torch West Bank clinics, homes and cars

Israeli settlers escalated attacks against Palestinians across the occupied West Bank over the weekend, including torching a clinic, shooting at civilians and vandalising a school.

Palestinian media reported on Monday that settlers raided a boys’ secondary school in the town of Hawara, south of Nablus, where they removed the Palestinian flag, raised an Israeli flag in its place and wrote “death to Arabs” on the walls.

Late on Sunday, a series of attacks were reported near Nablus and Ramallah. Armed settlers attacked Palestinians in the town of Deir al-Hatab, east of Nablus, injuring at least nine people, including one who sustained gunshot wounds.

In the town of Burqa, east of Ramallah, settlers torched a local clinic and a vehicle.

A night earlier, several simultaneous attacks were reported around Jenin, Nablus and Salfit.
