Palestinian residents of the northern West Bank city of Nablus managed on Wednesday to foil an Israeli settlers’ attempt to kidnap two children from Madama town south of the city.
Local activist Ghassan Duglas affirmed that 12 settlers from Yitzhar settlement infiltrated into the town and kidnapped two children while playing near their house.
The two children were identified as Hossam Ziadeh 10 and Taha Ziadeh 8.
Fortunately local youths managed to catch up the settlers before reaching their settlement and to save the two children.
Following the incident violent clashes broke out between local residents and the settlers who later fled the scene under Israeli forces’ protection.
