BETHLEHEM, (PIC)-- Jewish settlers laid down the foundation stone of a new random settlement in the West Bank despite the government's decision to freeze settlement construction for ten months.
The AFP said that around 50 settlers old and young started to build a house on a hill near Bethlehem south of the West Bank on Wednesday.
One of the organizers of the event said that the step was in retaliation to the government's settlement freeze.
Meanwhile, local sources south of Nablus said that settlers attacked Palestinian farmers in Qaryut village on Wednesday and prevented them from tending to their cultivated lands, and added that Israeli occupation troops escorted those settlers.
They added that the settlers beat up a number of farmers and wounded one of them, noting that the village was the target of a series of similar attacks over the past three months during which tens of villagers were hurt.
