NABLUS (Ma’an) — Dozens of settlers attacked Palestinians and their property in the Nablus and Tulkarem area on Tuesday, as tensions rose following the fatal stabbing of a settler earlier in the day.
PA official Ghassan Daghlas told Ma’an that settlers stopped two school buses near Yizhar settlement and showered them with stones, injuring a number of students and causing widespread panic.
Masked settlers burned tires at road junctions in Nablus and hurled stones at Palestinian cars, Daghlas added.
Settlers also set fire to dozens of olive trees in the Nablus villages of Asira al-Qibliya and Urif, and attacked vehicles east of Tulkarem.
The PA official urged Palestinians to exercise extreme caution while driving near settlements, adding that he expects more attacks to take place during the day.
Tensions are high in the northern West Bank following a stabbing attack which killed a settler earlier in the day near Zatara checkpoint in Nablus.
Israeli border police sped to the area and fired towards the attacker, who grabbed his victim’s weapon and returned fire but was eventually disarmed and taken into custody, an Israeli police spokeswoman said.
