Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission: Israeli occupation carried out 923 attacks against Palestinians and their property last month

Occupied Al-Quds, (ST) – The Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission revealed that the Israeli occupation carried out 923 attacks in the West Bank during last September, ranging from direct attacks on Palestinians, leveling lands, uprooting trees, and seizing property.

The Commission said in its report today, reported by Wafa News Agency that the attacks by the occupation forces were concentrated in Al-Quds (Jerusalem) with 181 attacks, followed by Nablus with 144 attacks, then Al-Khalil (Hebron) and Salfit with 101 attacks.

It added that the settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces, carried out 123 attacks on cities and towns in the West Bank concentrated in Nablus with 40 attacks and Al-Khalil (Hebron) with 22.

The Commission explained that the occupation authorities issued 168 orders to demolish homes and facilities, most of them in Salfit, with 83 orders in an attempt to empty the areas extending between the lands occupied in 1948 and a settlement established on Salfit lands to establish a connected settlement belt that isolates the Palestinian villages and towns in these areas from each other.

The Commission indicated that the occupation government announced plans to establish 1,632 settlement units in various areas in the West Bank, and seized 350 dunums of lands from the villages of Qatna, Al-Qubaiba, Beit Anan, north of Al-Quds, and Beit Liqya, west of Ramallah, to establish new sections of the apartheid wall, in flagrant violation of the most basic rules of international law and UN resolutions that confirm the illegality of settlement, and stress that it is a crime that must be stopped.

The Commission indicated that last month, the occupation forces demolished 28 homes and facilities, most of them in Jerusalem and Jenin, while uprooting 728 fruit trees, most of them in Salfit with 335 trees, followed by Al-Khalil with 153 trees.
