WEST BANK, (PIC)
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) kidnaped on Sunday a Palestinian citizen after extremist Jewish settlers assaulted him in the west of Jericho, while other settlers pitched a tent on a swath of land in central al-Khalil.
According to local sources, a horde of settlers savagely assaulted Mohamed Qindeel, a resident of Jericho City who works as a truck driver, as he was traveling on al-Maarajat road in the northwest of Jericho, east of the West Bank.
Soon later, Israeli soldiers showed up, arrested Qindeel and prevented a Red Crescent ambulance crew from providing him with first aid.
In a separate incident, a group of settlers guarded by Israeli soldiers placed a tent on a private piece of land in Tel Rumeida in central al-Khalil last night.
Local human rights activist Imad Abu Shamsiya said that the seized land belongs to the family of Qunaibi.
This was the second time settlers placed a tent on the same land as part of their efforts to seize it.
