West Bank, ALRAY - Israeli colonial settlers have set fire to two tents housing a Palestinian family and stole some of their sheep in Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank.

Local sources said that a group of colonial settlers torched two tents, owned by a local citizen named Sitan Awawda, near Deir Dibwan town in eastern Ramallah early Tuesday morning.

The Israeli colonial settlers also stole four sheep before withdrawing from the area.

Nearly 700,000 Israeli colonial settlers now live in more than 250 illegal settlements and outposts across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem in violation of international law.

Israeli colonial settlers have recently stepped up their attacks against Palestinian citizens and their property in the occupied West Bank, under the protection of the Israeli occupation army.

The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission documented 142 attacks carried out by Israeli colonial settlers on Palestinian citizens and their property in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem over the past month.
