Settlers continue raids on Palestinians

Israeli settlers are continuing their latest spate of attacks against Palestinians and their properties in the occupied West Bank.

Starting Monday, the settlers have attacked Palestinians' cars in the West Bank cities of Ramallah and al-Khalil (dubbed Hebron by the regime).

In al-lKhalil, settlers stoned Palestinian cars late on Monday night, and near Nablus they set fire and damaged crops of Palestinian farmers. At least three Palestinians were injured in the attacks.

In another incident on Tuesday afternoon, Israeli settlers attacked a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Walid Assaf, by throwing stones from behind at his car as he was driving in the direction of Qalqiliya on the Nablus bypass road. The car's windshield was shattered completely.

The lawmaker tried to chase the attackers, but they escaped into the Israeli settlement of Gilad, close to the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
