4:45Now PlayingBBC News has witnessed an attack by dozens of Israeli settlers on Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank. The settlers in the illegal outpost of Or Nahman attacked local Palestinian farmers, setting fire to vehicles and destroying their property.
The violence comes as the Israeli government plans to sign off the building of thousands of new homes elsewhere in the territory. That plan, which is illegal under international law, would “bury the idea of a Palestinian state” according to one far-right minister in the Israeli government.
Israeli settlers have been expanding their illegal seizures of Palestinian land since the start of the war in Gaza. Israel says that it does not support the creation of unauthorised new settlements. However many Palestinians accuse Israel’s government of complicity in the attacks and land seizures.
A BBC team was in the West Bank near the illegal outpost settlement of Or Nahman when Palestinian communities came under attack.
