Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors settlement activities in the northern West Bank, said that the settlers broke into the village, where they torched a vehicle and spray-painted racist anti-Arab graffiti in the area.

The torched vehicle belongs to Mahmoud Shehada, a villager.

The settlers reportedly came from Yitzhar, an illegal settlement inhabited by hardcore fanatic settlers.

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

Settlers' violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.

Between 500,000 and 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied East Jerusalem (Quds) and the West Bank in violation of international law.

All settlements across the West Bank are illegal under international law, particularly article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which establishes that the occupying power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
