Extremist settlers attack, and injure three Palestinians in Nablus
Three Palestinians on Thursday were injured in an Israeli settler invasion in the village of Burqa, northwest of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, medical sources reported.
Director of the Palestinian Red Crescent’s (PRC) Emergency Department, Ahmad Jibril, said that PRC units moved three Palestinians to the hospital following being brutally attacked by Israeli settlers.
A group of settlers hurled stones toward a few homes at the entrance of the village and a number of Palestinian commuters in the area, as reported by Ghassan Daghlas, who watches settlement actions in the northern West Bank.
He said that tension in the region is on the rise as Israeli settlers are rioting under military protection.
Settler violence against Palestinians and their property is common in the West Bank and is rarely charged by Israeli authorities.
Settler violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on helpless houses, among others.
There are at least 800,000 Israeli settlers living in colonial settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
