Israeli settlers have torched Palestinian vehicles and houses in the occupied West Bank, Israel’s army and villagers said, the latest in a series of attacks on the village of Bruqin, close to the location where a pregnant settler was killed this month, Reuters reports.

Palestinian residents in Bruqin, who say they have faced constant attacks and abuse from Israeli settlers nearby, said a large group had shown up during the night, throwing Molotov cocktails and beating anyone in their way.

Akram Sabra, a resident of the village, said he had left his home to watch as dozens, possibly a hundred, people burned cars belonging to him and his family and threw a Molotov cocktail incendiary at his son’s house.

“I saw my vehicles were burned and then they beat me on the head and I am still dizzy,” he said.
