Homesh looted by Palestinians

On Saturday, hundreds of Palestinians looted the evacuated Samarian town of Homesh. The looters burned trees, spray painted graffiti on homes, and stole whatever they could find in the rubble. According to a report in Ynet, one Palestinian explained that the West Bank town had not been officially liberated yet, which explained why hundreds, rather than thousands came to steal the remains. There are no Palestinian security forces in the area, so the looting went uninterrupted. Sa-Nur, on the other hand, is protected by Israeli soldiers, who are preventing Palestinians from infiltrating and destroying the remains of the evacuated community.
