NABLUS, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Four Palestinian citizens were injured on Monday when extremist Jewish settlers assaulted them in separate areas of Nablus, north of the occupied West Bank.
Local sources reported that a group of settlers attacked several residents in the town of Jamma’in in southwestern Nablus, injuring one of them.
The sources also said that an armed settler guard from the illegal Yitzhar settlement assaulted two citizens while they were working in a quarry in the village of Urif, south of Nablus.
The guard beat them and threatened to kill them if they continued working at the site, according to the sources.
A group of settlers also assaulted a 61‑year‑old Palestinian in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, leaving him injured. He was rushed to Rafidia Hospital for medical assistance.
In another incident, settlers stormed the town of Majdal Bani Fadil, south of Nablus, and tried to close its mosque while Muslim worshipers were inside. The incident sparked tension in the area.
In eastern Tubas, settlers seized swaths of grazing land around the Palestinian village of Aqaba and started to fence it.
A few days ago, six Palestinian families had been forced to leave their homes near Aqaba following repeated settler attacks targeting them and their property.
