Israeli settlers have set fire to a mosque, an olive tree and a vehicle in the occupied West Bank, as Israeli forces continue to carry out raids across the territory.

The settlers started the fires while raiding the village of Mikhmas early on Wednesday, according to the Palestinian news agency, Wafa.

Reports online say the settlers spray painted racist slogans on the walls of the mosque, as well as other buildings and Palestinians’ homes.

Pogroms carried out by settlers across the occupied Palestinian territory have surged since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza three years ago. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have accused the Israeli government of facilitating settler violence in a push to expand Israeli control of Palestinian land.

Elsewhere in the West Bank on Wednesday, settlers attacked a Palestinian boy in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, while Israeli forces arrested three Palestinians following a raid in the city of Qalqilya. Troops also raided the village of Tammun and fired tear gas, according to the Palestinian news outlet Quds News Network.

With the olive harvest under way across the West Bank, Israeli settlers have been mobilising to intimidate and obstruct Palestinian farmers, who rely on the crop as a crucial source of revenue.

According to Amnesty International, about 750,000 settlers live illegally in the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem. Settlements in occupied territory are illegal under international law.

在以色列军队继续在被占领的约旦河西岸地区进行袭击之际，以色列定居者放火焚烧了一座清真寺、一棵橄榄树和一辆汽车。

据巴勒斯坦通讯社瓦法社报道，定居者在周三清晨袭击米赫马斯村时纵火。

网上报道称，定居者在清真寺的墙壁以及其他建筑物和巴勒斯坦人的房屋上喷涂了种族主义标语。

自三年前以色列对加沙发动种族灭绝战争以来，定居者在被占领的巴勒斯坦领土上实施的种族屠杀事件激增。人权观察和国际特赦组织指责以色列政府为扩大其对巴勒斯坦土地的控制而助长定居者暴力行为。

周三，在约旦河西岸其他地区，定居者在纳布卢斯以南的贝塔镇袭击了一名巴勒斯坦男孩；与此同时，以色列军队在盖勒吉利亚市的一次突袭行动中逮捕了三名巴勒斯坦人。据巴勒斯坦新闻媒体“圣城新闻网”报道，以色列军队还突袭了塔蒙村并发射了催泪瓦斯。

随着西岸橄榄收割季的到来，以色列定居者开始动员起来恐吓和阻挠巴勒斯坦农民，而橄榄是他们重要的收入来源。

据国际特赦组织称，约有75万定居者非法居住在被占领的西岸和东耶路撒冷。根据国际法，在被占领土上建立定居点是非法的。
