Bizzariya, Nablus District: Israeli settlers stone a Palestinian tow truck and set fire to warehouses while guarded by soldiers

On Thursday, 11 July 2024, at around 7:30 P.M., about ten settlers, some of them masked, arrived in the eastern part of the village of Bizzariya and started throwing stones at a tow truck traveling towards Route 60. A few minutes later, a settler armed with a rifle and three soldiers joined them.

After about 15 minutes, the settlers set fire to several warehouses by the roadside, with the soldiers guarding them, and then left the place. The residents called the fire department, but by the time the fire was put out, it had destroyed a significant portion of the sanitary equipment stored there.

Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Since the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023, Israel has acted in a coordinated and deliberate manner to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip, committing genocide against its residents. In light of Israel’s actions in Gaza, the public statements made by Israeli decision-makers, and the international community’s failure to take effective action, there is a serious risk that the Israeli regime will expand the genocide to other areas under its control—first and foremost, the West Bank.
B’Tselem calls on the Israeli public and the international community to use every tool available under international law to bring an immediate end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.
