The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) removed at dawn Wednesday Palestinian flags in Hawara south of Nablus in the north of the West Bank.
Local sources said that IOF soldiers stormed the town and removed Palestinian flags set up on the light poles in the main street.
Earlier Tuesday an Israeli settler removed a Palestinian flag set up in the same area.
Local residents responded by raising the Palestinian flags on the light poles in the main street.
Later in the evening a group of settlers stormed the area under military protection to remove the flags to be once again raised by the locals.
