carried out with the complicity of the "most moral army in the world"
"Armed Israeli settlers launched a wave of attacks on Palestinian properties in several areas of the occupied West Bank overnight, torching homes, vehicles and olive trees.
More than 20 vehicles were targeted in the central West Bank city of al-Bireh on Sunday night, in what has been described online as a "pogrom", with most set ablaze and left smouldering wrecks.
Video footage posted online showed Palestinians attempting to put out fires enveloping buildings and cars, and roads left charred the morning after.
According to local news agency Wafa, the settlers opened fire at civil defence search-and-rescue workers attempting to extinguish the flames.
Settlers later set fire to a parking lot and scrawled offensive graffiti on walls in the nearby town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah, before fleeing.
Mohammed Amr, a resident of the area, told Middle East Eye that he woke up at 3.15am to odd noises near the building where he lives. Looking out the window, he saw a group of people pouring flammable material and burning vehicles.
“The settlers infiltrated from the Beit El settlement and came through the military checkpoint that separates it from the city of al-Bireh. Then they walked through the agricultural lands to reach the buildings adjacent to it, where I saw at least eight to ten settlers,” he said.
