NABLUS: Israeli colonists launched a violent attack this afternoon targeting the village of Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya, located south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.
WAFA correspondent reported that the colonists indiscriminately fired live ammunition towards civilians, their homes, and shops, while also chasing a group of youths on the outskirts of the village. No injuries were reported.
Yacoub Oweis, the head of the Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya Village Council, informed WAFA that some colonists targeted commercial establishments and homes on the main Nablus-Ramallah road outside the village. However, local villagers successfully fended off the attack.
Oweis noted that since Thursday evening, colonists have been attempting to intimidate and assault the villagers. Additionally, they erected six mobile homes or caravans south of the village in what seems to be a new colonial outpost.
