"They (Israeli settlers) are protected by the IDF, and since they have weapons and are armed, they are not listening to the law."

Israeli settlers are establishing a new, illegal outpost in a Unesco-protected area of Palestine.

"Suddenly the settlers came, wanting to devour the land and take it away from us."
