In the north of the
West Bank, flag-waving settlers
from the illegal Itamar settlement gathered, under heavy army protection, near
a military checkpoint in the town of Hawwara, south of Nablus, interrupting
traffic and provoking the Palestinians.
WAFA correspondent said settlers were also seen on
the main road linking Nablus to
Jenin. Settlers also attacked Urif high school
in the village of Urif, south of Nablus.
The school principal, Ayed al-Qit, told WAFA that
settlers, protected by soldiers, threw rocks at the school damaging solar
panels whilst soldiers from the occupying forces also fired tear gas canisters
at it causing many suffocation cases. The students were quickly evacuated from
the school with the start of the attacks, he said.
In the south of the West Bank, settlers from Kiryat
Arba settlement walked through Palestinian neighborhoods in the Israeli
army-controlled section of the city of Hebron, waving Israeli flags and
provoking the local population.
The events came a day after tens of thousands of extremist
Jews marched through the streets of occupied
East Jerusalem, attacking
Palestinians and their properties, and beating journalists without Israeli
police, who were present in large numbers, doing anything to stop them.
