Israeli settlers beat, kidnap Palestinian man in Masafer Yatta

We have more on the escalating violence by Israeli settlers and soldiers in the occupied West Bank.

The Wafa news agency is reporting that a group of Israeli soldiers kidnapped a Palestinian man, identified as Ibrahim al-Nawaj’a, after severely beating him in the Wadi Abu Ijheesh area of ​​Masafer Yatta.

The settlers were dressed in army uniforms, Wafa reported.

Further north, in the town of Bruqin, west of the city of Salfit, settlers who had set up a tent on Palestinian land continued to harass Palestinian residents of the area, by firing live ammunition and tear gas.

There were several raids by Israeli soldiers too.

According to Wafa, Israeli soldiers severely beat a young man after detaining him during a raid on the town of Deir al-Ghusun, in Tulkarem, in the north of the occupied territory.

Israeli soldiers also forced a Palestinian to demolish an agricultural structure in Jabal al-Mukaber, southeast of occupied Jerusalem.
