The Ministry of Health said that settler attacks on Palestinians and their belongings are common in the West Bank and often not punished by the occupation authorities.

More than half a million Israelis live in illegal Jewish settlements built illegally on Palestinian land in the West Bank. That violates international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention. (T / RE1)
