Dozens of Jewish settlers attacked early Monday a Palestinian house and burnt a car in al-Baqa'a area, east of Hebron in the southern West Bank, according to witnesses. Atta Jaber, a resident in the area, told Palestine News and Information Agency "WAFA" that dozens of settlers attacked the house of Jodi Abdul Jawad, throwing stones at it, and set fire to his car, completely burning it. He added that the settlers were divided into two groups; one set Abdul Jawad's car on fire and the other attacked the house with stones to prevent Abdul Jawad from coming out to defend his property. Baqa'a residents are regularly subjected to attacks and harassment by settlers from Kiryat Arba and Kharsina. Their property is also threatened with seizure by the Israeli authorities, which aim through the settlers' attacks to force the farmers and residents to leave their land.
