PA official: Israeli settlers set fire to car near Nablus

Ma'an
Israeli settlers set fire to a Palestinian car in the northern West Bank on Wednesday, a Palestinian Authority official said.....

The PA official demanded that the US put pressure on Israel "to stop the daily and repeated settler attacks."

......In February, settlers chopped down dozens of olive trees in the same village, Daghlas said at the time, while the Civil Administration said representatives were dispatched to the scene to investigate.

The month also saw settlers smash windshields of cars driving along the Nablus-Jenin road and assault a Palestinian doctor. "Attacks by settlers on Palestinians in the Nablus district continue, almost every day," Daghlas said.

Israel has vowed to "take severe measures against those involved" in disturbances in the area, after several dozen settlers attacked a military patrol near Yitzhar, injuring a soldier and two paramilitary police officers.

The attacks followed an incident in which a settler shot a Palestinian teenager in the same area during clashes that also left five Israelis injured. At the time, Israel's army also vowed to investigate the shooting.   Full story
