The State Attorney's Office has charged three Israelis, one 18 years of age and the other two minors, over a series of attacks against Arabs and their property in West Bank in August.

The adult is from Bat Yam, a city south of Tel Aviv, while the other two are residents of Elon Moreh in Samaria and Hebron in Judea, on the West Bank.

According to the indictment submitted to the Central District Court on Monday, the defendants attacked three Arab vehicles on roads near the villages of Burin and Awarta, both near Nablus (Shechem). Israel’s Kan News reported. They are said to have acted out of nationalistic and ideological motives.

They allegedly used clubs, iron rods and stones, damaging the vehicles and injuring at least one driver.
