An-Najah News - Extremist Israeli settlers attacked Wednesday and injured a Palestinian man by severely beating him, north of Jericho.

Witnesses said that a number of settlers, under protection from Israeli occupation soldiers, broke into the area of Arab al-Rashaida where they attacked a local Palestinian resident, causing him injuries.

During the past days, settlers carried out dozens of attacks against Palestinian citizens and their properties in various places in the occupied West Bank without interference to stop and deter them by the Israeli occupation forces.

An-Najah News - Israeli occupation forces Tuesday uprooted hundreds of olive trees and demolished three residential structures in Newe’meh village, near the occupied West Bank city of Jericho, a local official said.

Najat Irmeileh, head of Newe’meh village council, said that an occupation army bulldozer uprooted about 350 olive trees planted two years ago by a local resident, and demolished three structures owned by another resident and his brothers and seized their equipment while displacing their residents and leaving their families including women and children without a home..
