BETHLEHEM, (PIC)-- Jewish settlers from Tikwa and nearby settlements to the east of Bethlehem attacked Palestinian commuters and closed the main road linking north of the West Bank to its southern areas on Wednesday evening.
Eyewitnesses said that dozens of Jewish settlers carrying machineguns and batons closed the main road and blocked the passage of Palestinian vehicles under the very eyes of Israeli occupation forces, who did not move to stop them.
The settlers threw stones at Palestinian cars and chanted racist slogans against them while hoisting signs asking the IOF to protect them, the witnesses reported.
