Villagers suffer from teargas attack by IOF in Nablus village

NABLUS  (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Several citizens suffered from suffocation on Saturday during an incursion by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) into Qusra, south of Nablus.

Anti-settlement activist Fawaed Hassan reported that the IOF stormed the southeastern area of Qusra, firing live bullets and tear gas, which resulted in several citizens suffering from suffocation.

Additionally, settlers attacked farmers in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, also on Saturday with no injuries reported.

Village activist Mahmoud Barakat said that a group of settlers invaded the southern area of the village known as Al-Sanan and attacked farmers in an attempt to force them to leave the area.

Settlers also attacked the home of citizen Muhammad Abdul Aziz Nawabit, but no injuries were reported.

In the same context, Israeli settlers attacked the homes of citizens in the village of Susya, located in the Masafer Yatta area south of Al Khalil in the West Bank, on Saturday. Local sources reported that the settlers threw stones at the homes, uprooted crops, and damaged property surrounding the houses in the village.

The settlers destroyed winter crops and trees around the home of citizen Hussein Al-Nawajaa, and damaged property around the home of citizen Youssef Al-Nawajaa.

Since the Al-Aqsa Flood attack on October 7, 2023, the Israeli army and settlers have intensified their assaults on Palestinian citizens in the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem. These assaults have resulted in the martyrdom of more than 806 Palestinians, approximately 6,500 injuries, and the arrest of over 11,000 others, according to Palestinian official data.
