APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Nablus – 19 June 2021. Palestinina protesters clash with Israeli security forces during night confusion in the village of Beita, south of Nablus in the West Bank.
STORYLINE
Protests against the illegal colonial settlement outpost in Beita are faced with live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets, tear gas and stun grenades. Bani-Shamsa was the fourth Palestinian killed in addition to over 500 injuries.
The number of settlers living in Jewish-only colonial settlements across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law has jumped to over 700,000 and colonial settlement expansion has tripled since the signing of Oslo Accords in 1993.
Israel’s nation-state law, passed in July 2018, enshrines Jewish supremacy, and states that building and strengthening the colonial settlements is a “national interest.”
