NABLUS, (PIC)– Dozens of Jewish settlers attacked on Saturday night and at dawn Sunday tens of Palestinian vehicles, in the vicinity of the city of Nablus in the north of the West Bank.
Ghassan Daghlas, official in charge of settlement file in the northern West Bank, said that more than 25 attacks on Palestinian cars have been recorded, mostly in the south of Nablus and in the main road between the towns of Ramallah and Nablus, pointing to the presence of a large number of settlements in these areas.
Daghlas said in statement to Quds Press that a number of Palestinian civilians were wounded, and that several vehicles were damaged as the settlers threw stones at them.
He noted that there is a significant increase in the pace of settler attacks, which have reached since the beginning of this year 589 attacks, including setting fire to cars and uprooting olive trees, compared to 370 attacks during last year.
Meanwhile, youth activists, from several Palestinian towns to the south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, announced the formation of popular groups to protect the olive harvest season in their villages, in light of the repeated settler attacks and the authority’s failure to protect their lands.
Those groups work on protecting the olive fields from the settlers’ plans that aim to burn the agricultural lands and steal the olive crop, as what happened last year.
They also seek to provide volunteers to help in the olive harvest in the lands located near the settlements of Yitzhar, Itamar and Barka, during the period of Eid al-Adha holiday.
