Witnesses said that the armed Israeli settlers attacked the Yetma and Qeblan villages, attacking properties and damaging more than 20 cars, as well as many livestock fodders. In the Assawiya village in southern Nablus, the settlers drew anti-Islam slogans on the viollage's walls. Palestinian witness, Hekmat Abu Ras, told media outlets that the villagers woke up early today to find out that the armed settlers were attacking their village and that anti-Muslim slogans, including insults to the prophet Mohammad, drawn on the village's mosque.

Abu Ras confirmed that this village has been repeatedly attacked by the armed settlers, as the village is surrounded by three large illegal settlements of Eliei, Rachel and Chilo. In the Ramallah city, villagers of the Senjel and Tarmsiya villages in northern Ramallah, were shocked after observing anti-Islam slogans, written in Hebrew, on the village's mosque floor and walls. For the past few weeks, assaults by armed Israeli settlers against Palestinian residents in different parts of the occupied West Bank have been intensifying. Israeli Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, had earlier stated that such attacks only damage Israel's image on the International stage.

An Israeli military court postponed on Tuesday trial of the Secretary General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Ahmad Sa'adat, who has been jailed by Israel for the past two years.

Sa'adat was accused by Israel of orchestrating the assassination attempt of late Israeli tourism minister, Rahb'am Zaivi, in response to the Israeli army assassination of former PFLP leader Abu Ali Mustafa in the West Bank city of Nablus in the same time period.

The Israeli army arrested Sa'adat and other Palestinians after attacking the Palestinian Authority-run jail of Jericho in the Jericho city in March 2006. By then, Sa'adat and other Palestinians accused by Israel were jailed under British and American supervision, within an Israeli-Palestinian deal.

Noteworthy, Sa'adat has been a Palestinian Member of Parliament since 2006 and his trial has been delayed several times by Israel since he was jailed.
