Ghassan Daghlas, an official who monitors settlement activities in the northern West Bank, stated that settlers uprooted trees and a fence surrounding the land of Hisham Hamoud,  in Jalud village south-east of Nablus, stole equipment and damaged construction work.

The settlers escalated their attacks on citizens' properties in the village through uprooting 250 olive seedlings in a land close to the "Ahla" settlement several months ago and damaging utility poles and the power grid.

In a statement on the escalation of settlers’ violence, the United Nations human rights experts, including the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Palestine, called on the international community to impose deterrent measures on the occupation to immediately stop its settlement project, protect Palestinians from settlers’ violence and hold them accountable for their actions.

Hazem Qassem, the spokesperson of Hamas movement, called for increasing resistance against the settlers in the West Bank in order to deter and hold them accountable for their crimes through a popular, effective and unified response to their attacks.
