Iran Press/ Europe: The Israeli military said "dozens of Israeli civilians, some of them masked", entered Jit, west of Nablus, on Thursday night, and "set fire to vehicles and structures in the area, hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails". A Palestinian man was shot dead.
Raveena Shamdasani called the attack of more than a hundred Israeli settlers on Jit village near the city of Qalqilyeh and the burning of Palestinian houses and cars "horrific".
"There are reports of Israeli security forces standing by as attacks take place," UN human rights office spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani told a press briefing.
"There are even reports of weapons being distributed to the settlers. So there is a state responsibility in this regard."
The Israeli regime's military said "dozens of Israeli civilians, some of them masked", had entered Jit, west of Nablus, on Thursday, and "set fire to vehicles and structures in the area, hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails".
"It was horrific," said Shamdasani.
"What is striking and important to remember is that yesterday's killing in Jit is not an isolated attack, and it is the direct consequence of Israel's policy of settlement in the West Bank," she added.
More than 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza in the past 314 days. Gaza Health Ministry said the real casualties are very far from this record for thousands of those who were buried under rubble and are at serious risk of death due to illness and lack of food, medicine, and many basic needs.219
