A number of Palestinians are injured and 17 others arrested in the West Bank

Three Palestinians were injured today when Israeli settlers attacked them northwest of Nablus in the West Bank.

Wafa news agency quoted Ghassan Daghlas, the official in charge of the settlement file in the northern West Bank, as saying that a group of settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces, stormed the town of Burqa, northwest of Nablus, and attacked Palestinians, injuring three of them, as well as targeting a number of Palestinian vehicles in the area.

A number of Palestinians suffocated as a result of the Israeli occupation forces firing poison gas at them during their storming of the towns and villages of Faqu’a, Anin, Taybeh and Torah, located near the apartheid wall in Jenin.

In addition,  Palestinian Ma’an News Agency reported that the occupation forces stormed the cities of Qalqilya and Ramallah and Hawara, south of Nablus, and raided Palestinian homes, assaulted them and arrested 17 of them.

The occupation forces arrested on Wednesday 13 Palestinians in separate areas of the West Bank.
