Photos 1-4: Settlers running car tires in Sinjil
Motaz Tawabsheh, Sinjil’s mayor told LRC reporter:
“ in the recent years, fanatic settlers attacked several homes in the town, in 2014 “Price tag” gangsters torched a house and caused 5 burning casualties ,1 of them is a child.
It should be mentioned that the occupation army has been closing the eastern entrance of Sinjil by roadblocks and dirt walls since the outbreak of the second intifada in 2000. Noteworthy, the closed way is the main route which links the village with the bypass road no. 60.”
Field observation shows that settlers’ gang “price tag” raided several areas in Palestinian suburbs, ruined car tires and wrote hatred inciting slogans , like what happened in Ein Yabrud, Ramon, Al-Mughir and Deir Dibwan in Ramallah, Fara’ata and Jeet in Qalqilya, Tell, Assira Al-Qibliya, Burin, As-Sawiya and Qasra in Nablus.
