Settlers clash with Palestinians near Tell, a week after deadly gunfight; Palestinian said shot

Israeli settlers entered the outskirts of Nablus this morning, a week after a deadly gunfight took place in the nearby village of Tell, and again clashed with Palestinians, according to the IDF.

The military says Palestinians hurled stones at the Israeli civilians, and one of the Israelis opened fire in the air.

The IDF says it also received a report of several Israelis who “vandalized a cemetery” in the Nablus area.

The settlers also passed through the outskirts of Tell during their hike.

The hike, through areas A and B of the West Bank — normally off limits to Israeli civilians — was not approved by the army, but the military says troops “had been deployed in advance in the area ahead of the Israelis’ arrival, were dispatched to disperse the gathering and worked to remove the civilians from the area.”

All of the Israelis eventually left the Nablus area, according to the army.

The IDF says that later, Palestinians hurled stones at troops in the area, and the soldiers opened fire at a “main instigator.”

Palestinian media reports that one person was shot in the village of Juneid, near Nablus and Tell.

“The IDF emphasizes that entry into Area A is prohibited and dangerous for Israelis, and constitutes a violation of the law,” the army adds.
