RAMALLAH (Kayhan Intl.) – Palestine on Friday called on the international community to help end Zionist settlers’ assaults on the Palestinians in the West Bank.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press statement that it condemns the Zionist settlers’ attacks on several Palestinian citizens’ vehicles on Thursday night north of the West Bank city of Ramallah.
The statement said that settlers threw stones at Palestinian vehicles driving north of the city, wounding four Palestinians, including a pregnant woman in serious condition.
Local sources confirmed that the settlers pelted the Palestinian vehicle with stones and rocks, while it travelled near the Turmus Ayya village, north of occupied Ramallah.
The woman, who was nine months pregnant, was seriously wounded and taken to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah.
Witnesses told the Yesh Din rights group that a group of around 60 Zionist settlers gathered by Route 60, a highway which crosses the West Bank, and began throwing stones at Palestinian cars in the area, damaging two vehicles.
When the family, identified as residents of Kafr Malek village located to the east of Ramallah, attempted to flee, the settlers continued to strike them with stones.
The statement held the occupying regime fully responsible for the settlers’ attacks.
Attacks, assaults and acts of vandalism are frequently carried out on Palestinian towns and villages in the Israeli-occupied West Bank both by settlers and Zionist troops.
The ministry warned of the serious consequences of such attacks. It added that the settlers’ assaults "are part of the Israeli occupation forces assaults on our people and their properties.”
"We call on the world to put an end to these assaults. The lives of the Palestinians became less important. Some countries still don’t hold Israel responsible for its crimes,” the statement said.
The ministry said the Zionist regime is exploiting the world’s current situation to increase its assaults and crimes against the Palestinians.
It added that the settlers’ assaults "are part of the Israeli occupation forces assaults on our people and their properties.”
