BETHLEHEM: Israeli colonists, under the protection of Israeli forces, stole today a tractor belonging to a Palestinian resident in the town of Battir, west of Bethlehem, in the southern occupied West Bank.

According to Omar al-Qaisi, an activist, colonists stole a tractor belonging to resident Hussein Khalil Abu Na’ama, 55, while he was tending to his land in the al-Khammar area in Battir.

Israeli forces, who did nothing to stop the colonists, briefly detained Abu Na’ama and subjected him to field interrogation.
