NABLUS, September 25, 2011 (WAFA) – Jewish settlers Sunday morning attacked a Palestinian vehicle on a main road south of the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank, said local sources.
Coordinator of the Israeli Rabbis for Human Rights organization, Zakaria al-Sidda, said a group of settlers from Yitzhar settlement, south of Nablus, ambushed Palestinian cars and stoned them.
The attack is the latest in the settlers’ ongoing violent campaign against Palestinians, in retaliation for the Palestinian application last Friday for full United Nations membership of a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders.
On Saturday, settlers set fire to olive fields on the outskirts of Burin, a village south of Nablus, under Israeli army protection, according to local sources.
Clashes broke out in Burin after a group of settlers and Israeli forces raided the village and fired tear gas at Palestinians.
In Bethlehem, a Palestinian man was injured in his neck and back when his car veered off the road and hit a large block of stone, after a group of Jewish settlers from Beitar Illit, a settlement north of Bethlehem, stoned his carPalestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
