Israeli military troops have sealed off an iron gate leading to Palestinian villages north of al-Khalil province in the southern occupied West Bank allegedly after a settler was stoned and injured.
Israeli soldiers closed off the access road between Beit Einun and al-Nasaba north of Halhul province in northern al-Khalil claiming a settler was injured in a stone-throwing attack as she passed through the area overnight.
Sometime earlier Israeli settlers attacked a bus carrying Palestinian schoolchildren on their way back home to Yatta east of al-Khalil from an excursion.
A state of panic flared up among the schoolchildren after Israeli settlers hurled rocks toward the bus in the second such assault in al-Khalil in less than 10 hours.
