(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The mayor of al-Khader, near Bethlehem, Ramzi Salah told Ma'an that some of the slogans read; "this is the land of our fathers and grandfathers," and "this is the land of Israel."

The posters were displayed near settlements along route 60 between Khalil and Jerusalem, as well as near the village of Jaba and in the East Jerusalem towns of Eizariya and Abu Dis, Salah added.

Member of local anti-wall committee in al-Khader Ahmad Salah told Ma'an that some of the posters along route 60 read "we will slaughter Arabs." Posters were also displayed on the fence surrounding Efrat settlement south of Bethlehem, he added.

In a separate incident, settlers in Khalil attempted to raid Palestinian neighborhoods on Sunday evening. A Ma'an reporter quoted local sources as saying that armed settlers tried to attack Palestinian residents near Kiryat Arba but Israeli forces intervened to prevent the attack.

There has been a surge in settler attacks against Palestinians over the past days.
