Tuesday 30-January-2018

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday detained a Palestinian school student in as-Sawiya town south of Nablus as they were providing protection for a horde of Jewish settlers who stormed the area.

Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that dozens of settlers rallied near as-Sawiya high school and brutalized its students and teachers as they were leaving for their homes in the afternoon.

According to them several Israeli soldiers rushed to the area to protect the settlers before skirmishes started between them and local residents.

During the events the soldiers arrested a student and took him to an undeclared place before releasing him later.

The soldiers also tried to forcibly enter the school but teachers and students confronted them and foiled their attempt.
