A group of Jewish settlers Friday evening stormed a historic site in Sabastia town near Nablus and provoked the Palestinian inhabitants who retaliated to their provocation by throwing stones at them.
Eyewitnesses told the PIC reporter that settlers’ incursion into the town was made under protection of Israeli soldiers who showered inhabitants with tear gas and stun grenades.
Sabastia’s historic area is repeatedly exposed to systematic incursions by Jewish settlers along with Israeli forces especially in Jewish holidays. The incursion of the settlers is usually launched amid heavy Israeli military reinforcements in order to secure the settlers’ tour in the town.
