NABLUS, Israeli settlers today demolished a Palestinian-owned mobile home on the road connecting the occupied West Bank cities of Jenin and Nablus, according to a local activist.
Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors settlement activities in the northern West Bank, said that a group of settlers, under the protection of Israeli forces, demolished a mobile home placed inside a land owned by a local resident on the road between Jenin and Nablus.
He added that settlers also cut off and stole the entire fence surrounding the land.
In many cases of settlers’ attacks against Palestinians, Israeli forces offer protection to settlers and turn a blind eye to attacks committed against locals.
Settlements are illegal under international law as they violate Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits the transfer of the occupying power’s civilian population into occupied territory.
