The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday removed the pole carrying the Palestinian flag from the archeological site in Sebastia north of Nablus.
Sebastia mayor Mohamed Azem said that Israeli soldiers stormed his town and removed the flagpole from the ancient site and prevented local residents from entering the area.
In a separate incident a horde of Jewish settlers on the same day hurled stones at a Palestinian car near Huwara checkpoint in southern Nablus.
Mohamed Sawafta from Bardala village in the northern Jordan Valley reported that a group of masked settlers showered his car with stones and caused considerable damage to it.
Sawafta added that Israeli soldiers were at the scene watching the settlers attacking his car without taking any action.
