Attacking Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank, painting racist slogans, said Hamas spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum. 

In a press release on Friday evening, Barhoum called on the Palestinian Authority to take “firm, national and responsible” steps to protect Palestinian civilians against Israeli settler violence and end all forms of collaboration with the Israeli occupation.

Barhoum’s statements came after gangs of Israeli settlers set Palestinian-owned vehicles on fire and painted racist and anti-Palestinian graffiti on walls of Palestinian houses in the occupied West Bank cities of in Nablus and Salfit.

The Hamas spokesperson urged West Bank’s residents to repulse all forms of Israeli aggression and put an end to such attacks.
