Armed Jewish settlers attacked the village of Aseera al-Qibliya in southern Nablus on Wednesday, opened live fire at villagers and set fire to village lands.
Local sources said that settlers from nearby Yitzhar settlement, established on Palestinian land, attacked the village with gunfire before trying to set a house on fire then torched swaths of cultivated lands.
In another development, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) delivered stop-construction orders against a number of houses in Duma, also in southern Nablus, on Wednesday evening.
Suleiman Dawabshe, mayor of the village, said that IOF soldiers stormed the village and handed a number of citizens stop-work orders. The soldiers then took photos of a number of houses that were previously notified of demolition.
