Settlers attack house in Sebastia town

NABLUS, (The Palestine Information Centre) A horde of extremist Jewish settlers attacked on Saturday morning a Palestinian house in Sebastia town, northwest of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

Sebastia mayor Mohamed Azzam said that a number of armed settlers encircled a house on the outskirts of the town and tried to break into it.

He added that the settlers had to withdraw after soldiers arrived at the scene and kidnaped the homeowner, Fadi Mukhaimer, and his cousin, Bahaa Mukhaimer, on the pretext that they assaulted one of the settlers who attacked the house.
