Gangs of extremist Israeli settlers carried out a series of attacks Thursday night against Palestinians and their properties in the occupied West Bank province of Ramallah, according to local sources.

Fanatic Israeli settlers, backed by army, also attacked the village of Um Safa, north of Ramallah, but were thwarted by local Palestinian residents who gathered in large numbers to confront any attack on the village by Israeli settlers.
Rampaging Israeli settlers also hurled stones at Palestinian vehicles driving through Ein Ayyub junction near the village of Ras Karkar.
These attacks are the latest in a series of attacks by army-guarded Israeli settlers against defenseless Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank.
Yesterday, scores of vehicles were set ablaze and dozens of homes attacked by army-guarded Israeli settlers in the town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah. A Palestinian young man was killed by Israeli occupation soldiers while confronting the settlers’ attack on the town.
