DAYS OF PALESTINE – WEST BANK
Several Palestinians were injured on Tuesday after Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya near Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
Dozens of settlers and soldiers had stormed the village and prevented students from reaching their school, Palestinian news agency Wafa said.
Almost 3,000 Palestinians live in Lubban Sharqiya, which sits on Road 60 that connects several Palestinian towns and villages to the city of Nablus in the north.
The illegal settlements of Neve Shir, Neot Khen, and Neve Shoham were built on the lands of Lubban Sharqiya and lie to the east of it.
Several Palestinians had suffered breathlessness from inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli forces who had arrested Baraa Mohanad Eweis, 25, from the village on Sunday evening.
Palestinian families in Lubban Sharqiya send their children to a school near Road 60 and have been vulnerable to attacks from settlers and Israeli forces for several years.
Settlers routinely stop students in the village from reaching their school, leading to clashes in the area in which Israeli forces shoot rubber-coated bullets and tear gas at Palestinians.
Last November, almost 70 Palestinian students and teachers suffered from the effects of tear gas when Israeli forces stormed the village.
