A Palestinian was killed and 5 others were shot dead by Israeli settlers, during an attack targeting the town of Aqraba, south of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said, in a statement today, Saturday, that “the outcome of the settlers’ attacks on the town of Aqraba reached a martyr and 5 injuries, including an elderly man.”
For its part, Voice of Palestine Radio reported that settlers attacked the lands of citizens in the outskirts of Aqraba.
The radio released videos that she said documenting “the moment of shooting on citizens during the settlers’ attack on a Mahfuriya plain, near the towns of Aqraba and Jorsh, southeast of Nablus.”
In the city of Jenin, the northern West Bank, two children were injured today after they were killed by a military mechanism for the Israeli occupation army. The Red Crescent said that the injured were a child and two women after a military pocket of the occupation deliberately collided with their wallet.
The occupation forces had stormed earlier the eastern neighborhood of the city of Jenin, and arrested a young man after the raid of his house and other homes in the neighborhood and its inspection.
Construction foci
At the same time, Israeli settlers have set up a new outpost in the area of Deir Ola, east of Bethlehem.
According to the Palestinian News Agency (Wafa), the settlers installed a number of tents at the same site, which witnessed two weeks ago the displacement of more than 15 Palestinian families, after they seized aluminum panels that were used as a ceilings for the homes of the people, in addition to solar energy cells, and they also burned the remaining holdings of the displaced families.
This is the eighth focus that is held in the vicinity of Kisan during the past two months, indicating the escalation of colonialism and seizing the lands of citizens in the region in favor of colonial expansion.
This coincided with the storming of Khirbet Yarza settlers, east of Tubas, northern the occupied West Bank, where they followed sheep shepherds in the area, and they tried to steal livestock belonging to Palestinian citizens.
In addition to the northern Jordan Valley areas, Khirbet is witnessing escalating attacks from settlers with the protection of the occupation army.
According to the data of the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Authority, the settlers carried out during the first half of this year 2000 and 153 attacks.
