On Monday morning, Tension flared up in Urif town, southern Nablus, after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) fired teargas canisters at Palestinian children heading to the town's school.
“The IOF soldiers prevented Palestinian journalists and medical crews from approaching the area and threw a cordon around Urif.” Eyewitnesses told the PIC reporter.
In a related context, a group of Israeli settlers at daybreak attacked Palestinian property in Urif and attempted to burn a tractor.
The PIC reporter said, quoting eye witnesses, that the settlers sneaked into the town at dawn, hurled stones at the Palestinian citizens' houses, and attempted to burn a tractor. The town's residents clashed with them and forced them out of their area.
Israeli settlers have recently stepped up their attacks on Palestinian citizens and their property in Urif.
