Palestinian residents in the village of Yatma to the south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank, fended off today evening an attack by Israeli settlers against the village, according to a local activist.

Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors Israeli settlement activities in the north of the West Bank, said the villagers managed to fend off an attack carried out against residents’ homes by a group of Israeli settlers.

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