Israeli human rights group Yesh Din has shared photos and a video clip of Israeli settlers attacking and burning Palestinian homes and agricultural trees in the village of Sinjil, located in the northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.

Yesh Din, which works on rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territory, said settlers have attacked the village twice so far this week.

Israeli forces also assisted an earlier attack by firing tear gas canisters at locals trying to put out the fires started by the settlers, the rights group said, adding that one resident of the village was killed.

“The military enables this and prevents emergency services from accessing the area,” Yesh Din was quoted as saying.

It noted that the violence corresponds with the establishment of a new settler “farm outpost” near the Palestinian village.
