The Israeli occupation forces on Saturday attacked Palestinians in the village of Qaryout to the south of Nablus for fending off an Israeli settlers’ incursion into a water spring in the village.

Eyewitnesses told WAFA News Agency that settlers stormed an area to the west of the village of Qaryout in an attempt to take over the spring under the protection of the occupation forces.

Residents rushed to the area to fend off the settlers’ attempt but were attacked by Israeli forces with tear gas canisters, causing suffocation to several people.

This isn’t the first such attempt by settlers to take over the spring, according to WAFA.
