NABLUS, Saturday, April 03, 2021 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers today attacked Palestinian farmers in the village of Jaloud to the south of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank, according to a local activist.
Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors colonial settlement activities in the northern West Bank, told WAFA settlers from the nearby Aish Kodesh, an illegal settlement built on land of the Palestinian village of Jaloud, assaulted farmers at gunpoint and prevented them from cultivating their land.
He said settlers beat up an elderly man while Israeli soldiers stood idly by and provided protection to settlers. Settlers further destroyed a number of electricity poles placed along the road between the towns of Jaloud and nearby Qasra.
