Two settlers damaged a Palestinian family's property, disconnected their electricity system, and emptied their water tank after trespassing on their residential compound on Tuesday.
This comes after an order barring Israeli "protective presence activists," who work to protect Palestinian residents within the West Bank, from around the town of Taiba, near Ramallah.
Activists called the police on behalf of the mother of the family.
