Settlers attack Palestinian school near Nablus

NABLUS (Ma'an) -- Clashes broke out near Nablus on Tuesday after settlers attacked a Palestinian school in the village of Urif, a Palestinian official said.

Ghassan Daghlas, an official who monitors settler activity in the northern West Bank, told Ma'an that six Palestinians were injured by rubber-coated steel bullets after Israeli forces intervened in clashes with settlers.

Israeli soldiers fired tear gas and stun grenades at villagers after they clashed with settlers trying to attack a local school.

The incident took place hours after a deadly attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem which killed four Israelis.

Leaders from across the political spectrum condemn attack at Jerusalem synagogue; Arab MKs: No justification for targeting civilians; Labor's Herzog: We must settle score with those involved in hideous crime.

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman (Yisrael Beiteinu) said Tueday that a terror attack at a Jerusalem synagogue during prayer services attests more than anything to the despicableness of the murderers, and that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas bears full responsibility for the attack.

Security service head's remarks contradict declarations by Netanyahu following recent terrorist attacks.

By Jonathan Lis

The terrorists who carried out Tuesday's attack on the synagogue in Jerusalem have no previous security records and did not operate within the framework of any organization, Shin Bet security service chief Yoram Cohen told members of a Knesset committee after the incident.

do backflips to try and divert attention away from posts like these.

Violence should not be tolerated by any group, but what is worse is when violence is whitewashed and ignored.

These types of actions committed with regularity by settlers against Palestinians ought to get more attention.

Has anyone seen a legit article with the details?

This sounds a little weird to me. No ones picked up the story but extremist sites either.

No one has reported on it except for super unreliable sites as far as I've seen.

According to this clashes occurred because settlers attempted to attack a school. That's pretty vague, don't you think?
