AL-QUDS (Dispatches) – Some vehicles have been damaged and anti-Arab slogans have been spray-painted in a Palestinian village in the West Bank in an apparent hate crime by Zionists, the Zionist regime’s police have confirmed.
The incident took place before dawn in the village of Yasuf, southwest of Nablus city in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
A field researcher with Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights group, said in a statement sent to Xinhua that at least 13 cars were damaged.
Photos taken by the village council of Yasuf showed tires of car punctured and graffiti sprayed on residents’ home.
Zionist hardliners have been known to perpetrate such attacks against Palestinians and their property, including olive trees, mosques, churches, and cemeteries. Thousands of these attacks have been reported over the past years, mostly in the West Bank.
Two weeks ago, 170 vehicles were vandalized and hate graffiti was spray-painted on the walls of a mosque in the Arab town of Jish in northern parts of the occupied territories.
The West Bank is a land occupied by the Zionist regime during the 1967 Middle East war. The occupying regime has controlled it ever since, despite international criticism.

Arab League Wants Int’l
Observers Back

The Arab League has called for the redeployment of international observers to al-Khalil and other Palestinian cities to protect the Palestinians against Zionist crimes a year after the regime expelled the civilian observer mission from the occupied territories.
Arab League Assistant Secretary General for Palestine and Occupied Arab Territories, Saeed Abu Ali, made the remarks on Tuesday, marking the 26th anniversary of the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre.
On February 25, 1994, a Zionist settler randomly opened fire at Muslims observing the dawn prayers at the Ibrahimi Mosque in the holy fasting month of Ramadan, killing 29 worshipers and injuring 150 others.
Later in the day, Zionist troops killed an additional 21 Palestinians who took to the streets across the occupied lands to protest the al-Khalil bloodshed.
The Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH), tasked with safeguarding Palestinians in al-Khalil, was set up in the wake of the fatal attack. The mission was staffed by nationals of Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.
The mission did not start its work until 1998, after the Zionist troops refused to leave al-Khalil following the establishment of an illegal settlement at the heart of the city.
