NABLUS, Saturday, March 25, 2023 (WAFA) – Extremist Israeli settlers pelted stones tonight at Palestinian vehicles near the village of Deir Sharaf, to the west of Nablus, and blocked a junction in the northern Jordan Valley, according to local sources.
In Nablus province, north of the West Bank, hardcore Israeli settlers hurled stones at Palestinians’ vehicles passing through Deir Sharaf junction, to the west of the city, causing damage to some of them but no injuries, said Ghassan Daghlas, a local Palestinian official.
In the northern Jordan Valley region, northeast of the West Bank, extremist Israeli settlers shut down the Al-Maleh junction, blocking the movement of Palestinian vehicles in the area. The settlers also pelted stones at vehicles, said Mutaz Besharat, a Palestinian official in charge of the settlement file in the area.
Israeli settler violence against Palestinians and their property is commonplace in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.
There are over 650,000 Israeli settlers illegally occupying portions of the West Bank in violation of international law and established norms prohibiting the relocation of the occupying power’s civil population to the land of the occupied.
