APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Nablus- 7 January 2022. Palestinian protesters clash with Israeli troops in Beita against Israeli settlements, near the West Bank town of Nablus.
STORYLINE
At least four Palestinians were injured today by the Israeli army during the weekly protest against colonial Israeli settlement activities in the village of Beita, in the West Bank province of Nablus, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRC).
Israeli soldiers fired rubber-coated rounds and stun grenades at the anti-colonization protesters in Beita, injuring at least four of them and causing many cases of suffocation from teargas inhalation.
For near nearly eight months, Palestinians from Beita and neighboring villages have been holding almost daily protests against Israel’s construction of an illegal settlement outpost, Evaytar, on Jabal Sabih mount which is adjacent to the village.
Several Palestinian protesters have been killed and dozens wounded by Israeli occupation forces during recurrent clashes over the past five months.
In July, Israeli settlers vacated the illegal outpost under an agreement with the Israeli government that will allow for the outpost to remain intact and under permanent supervision of the Israeli occupation army, despite its unauthorized construction.
Before leaving, the dozens of Zionist families who had settled there erected a 13-meter-high iron Star of David facing the nearby Palestinian village of Beita with the phrase "We will return" inscribed next to it.
