Hundreds of Jewish settlers at dawn Sunday stormed Awarta town southeast of Nablus in the occupied West Bank at the pretext of performing rituals at what they believe to be holy sites.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that several troops aboard military vehicles were deployed in different neighborhoods of Awarta before dozens of buses carrying settlers came in.
They added that the settlers performed rituals at three different locations of the town pointing out that Facebook pages belonging to settlers had announced the organization of overnight mass visits to alleged Jewish holy shrines in Awarta.
