On Tuesday dawn, Israeli colonizers burnt a Palestinian car and wrote graffiti on a home in Beit Iksa village, northwest of occupied Jerusalem, in the West Bank.

Many paramilitary colonizers infiltrated the village at dawn and burnt a car owned by Ibrahim Elian Zayed parked in front of his property.

Zayed said the colonizers also wrote racist graffiti on walls before fleeing the village just as the locals were heading to the mosque for dawn prayers.

The attack is part of ongoing violations by the paramilitary colonizers who have burnt cars, homes, mosques, churches, desecrated graveyards, and uprooted farmlands.

All of Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention in addition to various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.

Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory.”
