ILLEGAL ISRAELI SETTLERS ATTACK VILLAGE OF WADI FUKIN

Illegal Israeli settlers from the illegal colony of Beitar Illit destroyed agricultural lands and two greenhouses in the village of Wadi Fukin near Bethlehem on the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.

The destroyed property belonged to five local Palestinian farmers.

As a "finishing touch" the illegal Israeli settlers sprayed "Death to Arabs" messages at the site of their crimes.

These daily attacks by illegal Israeli settlers against occupied Palestinians have the silent backing of Israel's occupation forces, who much of the time accompany the attackers to "protect" them.

Wadi Fukin is targeted regularly (on May 26th illegal Israeli settlers burned down part of the village lands) because it lies between the illegal colony of Beitar Illit, which is part of the bigger Gush Etzion colony bloc, and the Green Line, the armistice line from 1949.

The target of the illegal Israeli settlers and Israeli occupation is to ethnically cleanse Wadi Fukin so that the illegal colony bloc of Gush Etzion can be directly connected to Israel.
