Palestinian owned vehicles were damaged on Thursday near the intersection of the illegal Yitzhar settlement, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.
Ma’an News Agency reported that illegal Israeli colonialist settlers threw rocks at Palestinian vehicles, and eyewitnesses said Israeli military checkpoints were erected in many areas of the district of Nablus. There, numerous Palestinians were subjected to extensive searches of their vehicles, and inspection of identification.
The additional checkpoints were supposedly in response to an attack on soldiers at the Huwwara checkpoint earlier on Thursday.
On Wednesday a group of illegal Israeli colonialist settlers invaded the village of Quryout, south of Nablus. The settlers, from a nearby settlement, in the southeastern part of Qaryout, punctured the tires of nine Palestinian cars, and wrote racist graffiti on Palestinian property.

In a related incident on Wednesday, Israeli settlers invaded a high school in Urif village, in the southern Nablus district. The illegal colonialist setters threw stones at the students, while they were in class, causing injuries, disruption of classes, and damage to the school.
Ghassan Daghlas told Ma’an News Agency that 18 heavily armed settlers were escorted out of the vilage by Israeli military, who protected the settlers, while firing tear-gas bombs and rubber-coated steel bullets at the students.
These attacks caused the disruption of education, injury by tear-gas inhalation, and property damage.

A group of Israeli soldiers, one Israeli policeman, and one Israeli settler harassed a group of Palestinian and international olive pickers in As-Sawiya village yesterday, demanding identification and threatening to expel the harvesters from the area.
Soon after the group began work, they noticed security vehicles from the nearby settlement of Alia arrive and park along the settler road above them.
The occupants of the vehicle got out of the car and stood along the road for some time, taking photographs of the olive pickers.
Soon thereafter, a team of Israeli soldiers arrived, along with an Israeli police officer in an Israeli police vehicle. The soldiers and police officer immediately approached the olive pickers and asked for IDs.
One Israeli soldier filmed the entire interaction with his mobile phone, while the police officer photographed the passports of all the international harvesters. He returned the passports immediately, but held onto the Palestinians’ IDs for a much longer period of time, walking away from the group to make a phone call and visibly sorting through the IDs.
After the phone call, he appeared to photograph one or more of the Palestinian IDs before returning them. The officer then tried to tell the group that they needed to leave. The team refused, with the Palestinians insisting that this was their land and they were there for the olive harvest.
During the confrontation, a settler came and sat nearby, watching. After the confrontation, the settler, along with two Israeli soldiers, remained on the scene for an additional 20-30 minutes, trailing the olive pickers.
Eventually all Zionists left and the rest of the day’s harvest proceeded without incident.
