On Sunday morning, a group of illegal settlers gathered near the main entrance of the town of Beit Furiq, east of Nablus, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, and threw stones at Palestinian cars.
Ghassan Douglas, a Palestinian official who monitors Israel’s illegal colonial activities in the northern West Bank, said settlers threw stones at Palestinian cars near the Israeli military blockade of Beit Furik, causing damage.
Douglas added that the settlers attacked the Palestinian’s car when Israeli soldiers opened the roadblock after closing it in both directions for several days.
After the attacks, Israeli soldiers closed the iron gate at the main entrance to the town of Beit Furik, a blockade once again punishing the Palestinians instead of the illegal settlers who attacked them.
Ahmad Jibril, head of the emergency department of the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) office in Nablus, said soldiers escalated their restrictions on the blockade, despite reopening it, and attacked PRCS medics trying to cross with his ambulance.
The soldiers also escalated their restrictive measures at the main entrance of the village of Salem, east of Nablus, and prevented Palestinians from entering or leaving it, in addition to raiding and searching several homes in the At-Tahra area of the village.
