Settler violations

In another development, extremist settlers seized a park in the village of Qaryut, south of Nablus.

The settlers took control of an under-construction building in the middle of the park built by the village, and raised the Israeli flag above it.

Village residents indicated that settlers stormed lands classified as “B” to control additional areas of village land.

They also took control of a water spring on the outskirts of the village, and deployed in the hills surrounding it before the occupation forces arrived at the place to provide protection for them.

The settlers had tried to control the spring's water before, and clashes occurred between them and the village residents.

In the city of Jenin, settlers attacked employees and workers of the Dahr al-Abd Village Council in the town of Ya`bad, detained them and their equipment, prevented them from constructing agricultural roads, and forced them to leave at gunpoint.

Settlers also attacked farmers from the town of Qarawat Bani Hassan, west of the city of Salfit, and fired live bullets at the farmers.
