Dozens of settlers raided a Ramallah village and set fire to 10 cars,
settlers from Ofra settlement 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.
