Saturday 22-April-2017

At least three Palestinians were injured Saturday afternoon during clashes with Jewish settlers and Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in Ourif town south of Nablus city in the northern West Bank.

Head of Ourif council Yousef Shehadeh told the PIC reporter that settlers attempted in the morning hours to raid the town from different entrances. The inhabitants however confronted the settlers and prevented their incursion into the town.

The fanatic settlers returned back in large numbers and attacked Palestinians’ homes and properties. They smashed the windshields of a car and the windows of some houses.

The IOF soldiers in ten military jeeps raided the site and fired rubber bullets and tear gas grenades at Palestinians injuring three men. The wounded were taken to the hospital.
