Five Palestinians injured confronting pillage of their land south of Nablus

Five Palestinians were today injured as they were confronting the pillage of their land in the village of al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus, according to local sources.

Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors colonial settlement activities in the northern West Bank, told WAFA that the Israeli forces assaulted Nael Awaisa, injuring him in the head before detaining him.

The soldiers also opened fire towards other villagers who were trying to prevent Israeli bulldozers from razing their land in Wadi Yasuf, injuring four of them with rubber-coated steel bullets.

The bulldozers were laying the groundwork for the construction of a settlers-only road.
