(Emily Mangiaracina/LifeSiteNews) — A cohort of Israeli settlers again attacked the Christian village of Taybeh in the West Bank, setting cars ablaze, throwing stones at homes, and scrawling intimidating graffiti on walls in the latest episode of an ongoing siege against the town.
Despite U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee’s recent visit to Taybeh, the last fully Christian town in the West Bank, during which he condemned the violence against the town and called for “harsh consequences” for the perpetrators, aggressors struck the village again.
Early Monday morning, according to several local reports, Israeli settlers assailed homes with stones, attempted to set one house afire, threatened the inhabitants with graffiti messages, and torched three cars, including one belonging to a Christian journalist and one belonging to a village council member.
