NABLUS, Tuesday, June 14, 2022 – Israeli settlers today attacked with stones Palestinian commuters traveling along the main traffic artery connecting the northern West Bank cities of Nablus and Jenin, according to a local activist.
Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors Israeli colonial settlement construction in the northern West Bank, said that a group of settlers hurled stones at Palestinian vehicles traveling along the road causing damage to some vehicles but luckily no serious injuries.
Meanwhile, a landowner in the village of Qaryout, south of Nablus, said settlers have cut down eight fully grown olive trees in his land, which is the third time the settlers do this.
Settlers regularly attack Palestinian commuters on West Bank roads as well as villages and are rarely, if ever, prosecuted by the Israeli authorities, which prompted the labeling of Israel by several rights organizations as an apartheid state.
