NABLUS, (PIC)-- Jewish settlers cut off more than 200 olive trees south of Qusra village south of Nablus city after midnight Wednesday, local sources reported on Thursday.
Ghassan Abu Daghlas, in-charge of settlement activity north of the West Bank, said that the cultivated land lots are owned by five citizens, noting that the attack took place as the farmers were getting ready for harvesting olives.
In another settler assault on Wednesday, a setter riding a speeding car south of Nablus threw unknown sharp objects at Palestinian high school children, wounding the first in his neck and foot while the second was injured in his back.
Both schoolchildren were hospitalized after the attack.


Hundreds of settlers storm Nabi Yusuf shrine

NABLUS, (PIC)-- Hundreds of Jewish settlers stormed the Nabi Yusuf shrine east of Nablus city at dawn Thursday under Israeli army protection.
Eyewitnesses said that PA security forces withdrew from the area shortly before arrival of the heavily escorted settlers who offered religious rituals.
They noted that the Israeli occupation forces entered the shrine area amidst intensive firing to pave the way for the arrival of the settlers.
The witnesses said that the IOF soldiers threw gas canisters and sonic bombs at the citizens, who protested the visit, and some of those fell inside Palestinian homes, adding that tens of the civilians were treated for breathing difficulty.
Settlers routinely storm the shrine which was an Islamic mosque then turned into a shrine by the Israeli occupation after the 1967 war.
