NABLUS, (PIC)-- Tens of Jewish settlers attacked the village of Assira Al-Qabalia, south of Nablus, on Saturday injuring two citizens and causing material damage, locals reported.

Husni Al-Saleh, the chairman of the village's municipal council, said that the settlers threw stones at the citizens' homes at the outskirts of the village.

He added that they threw a firebomb at one of the houses and its owner's feet were hurt as a result.

Another citizen was injured in his chest as a result of the flying rocks thrown by those settlers, Saleh said, adding that the man was hospitalized.

He noted that the settlers then headed to the nearby village of Urif and burnt a citizen's car.

Meanwhile in Salfit, armed Jewish settlers were spotted visting an archaeological site west of the city near the town of Brukin. According to locals, Jews claim the land belongs to their forefathers.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) targeted journalists and paramedics during clashes that broke out with Palestinians after Friday prayers in the Al-Bustan community in the Jerusalem district of Silwan, the Wadi al-Halwa information center reported.

The IOF troops fired random and tear gas near Shahid Samer Sarhan Street prompting civilians to respond with rocks and Molotov cocktails.

At least one man was injured after being hit by a rubber bullet, while dozens suffered the effects of breathing tear gas.

In a separate incident, Israeli bulldozers demolished two water wells and a shed belonging to Palestinians in Al-Khader village south of Bethlehem, said village councilman Mahmoud Abdullah.

Israeli authorities claimed the structures were built without permits, but Israeli courts had made a precautionary decision that they should not be destroyed without warning.
