On Sunday, Israeli soldiers injured several Palestinians in the village of Qaryout, south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank, while illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers invaded and burned land east of the city.
Media sources reported that several military vehicles entered Qaryout, after which soldiers closed streets, leading to protests.
They added that the soldiers fired rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades, causing many Palestinians to suffer from tear gas inhalation, lacerations, and bruises.
In related news, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers invaded Palestinian farmlands in the meadows of Salem town, east of Nablus, and set large swaths of wheat fields ablaze.
Last week, colonizers also burned Palestinian land in several villages across the Nablus governorate.
All of Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention, in addition to various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.
Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory.”
