Israel tyranny update: Israeli settlers have beaten up several Palestinian farmers in the town of Huwara in occupied West Bank, it has been reported. The Monday assault came after over 50 Israeli settlers entered the Palestinian farmers lands in the town located in the Nablus Governorate of the northern West Bank. The Israeli settlers also stole 300 sheep from the farmers and attempted to bring them back to their illegal settlements, according to a Press TV correspondent in Huwara. Hours after the attack Israeli forces prevented several Palestinian farmers from working on their fields and ordered them to get Israeli permits before they could re-enter their land. Farmers from Nablus say they have permits to harvest their olive gardens only two days in a week during olive harvesting season which remains their main source of annual income. In recent years, Israeli settlers in the West Bank have often assaulted Palestinians and vandalized their property. However, the Tel Aviv regime rarely detains the assailants. The Israeli regime maintains a defiant stand on the issue of its illegal settlements on Palestinian land as it refuses to freeze settlement expansion. Tel Aviv has come under repeated and widespread international condemnation over the issue. More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem). Human rights groups accuse Tel Aviv of ignoring complaints by the victims of settler attacks. Enough said.
