APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Nablus, 02 July 2021. Palestinian protesters clash with Israeli forces in Beita, near Nablus city in the occupied West Bank.
STORYLINE
Amid ongoing rallies in the Palestinian village protesting the newly-established settler outpost of Eviatar (background) on a nearby hill. - Israeli settlers were leaving the wildcat outpost in adherence to an agreement struck with nationalist premier Naftali Bennett's new government.
The hilltop area where they have established a settlement lies near Nablus in the northern West Bank, Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967. Under the terms of the deal, those temporary homes will remain, and the Israeli army will establish a presence in the area.
Dozens of Palestinians sustained light to moderate injuries today when Israeli occupation forces attacked the weekly protests against colonial Israeli settlements, which usually take place every Friday across the occupied West Bank, according to local and medical sources.
In Nablus, north of the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers fired rubber-coated metal rounds and stun grenades at Palestinians who demonstrated at Jabal Sabih mount, near the village of Beita, injuring five of them, one of them in the head. An ambulance was also hit by a teargas canister. The protesters were demonstrating against Israel’s construction of an illegal settlement outpost called Evyatar on the mount.
Palestinians usually hold protests against colonial Israeli settlements and other discriminatory policies following the weekly Friday prayer every week, when most Palestinians are on their weekend.
