Settlers torch 10 cars in Ramallah village

RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Dozens of settlers raided a Ramallah village overnight Monday and set fire to 10 cars, locals said.

Witnesses told Ma'an that settlers from Ofra entered the village of Deir Jarir and attacked property in the village, setting fire to 10 vehicles.

In recent weeks, fierce clashes have broken out in the area as Palestinians try to protect private land slated for annexation to Ofra.

Earlier in April, a group of Israeli settlers assaulted a resident of Silwad who sustained bruises and was hospitalized. In response, residents set fire to movable settler houses in a nearby outpost.

Settler attacks against Palestinians and their property is routine in the occupied West Bank and rarely punished by Israeli authorities, who locals accuse of failing to intervene despite being present at many incidents.

2. Once again - an older photo that does not correspond with the article

This photo was used by them in an article in February.

Weird how Ma'an keeps doing that.

3. A burned out car is a burned out car...not weird.

One could focus on that or not. One could comment on the crime or not. Weird
how you keep doing that just like before your break.
