Israeli army injures Palestinians after settlers attack Nablus village
http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=768655NABLUS (Ma'an) -- At least 14 Palestinians were shot and injured with rubber-coated steel bullets in clashes that erupted in Qasra village in the northern occupied West Bank district of Nablus after settlers descended on the area in an attempt to attack residents, a local monitor said.
Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors settler activity in the northern occupied West Bank, said clashes broke out after Israeli forces responded to a dispute between Israel settlers and local Palestinians from the village.
The settlers had tried to attack the eastern area of the village, but were stopped by locals who forced them to retreat before Israeli forces arrived at the scene, Daghlas said.
Two of the 14 Palestinians shot and injured by rubber-coated steel bullets during the subsequent clashes had to be evacuated to Rafidia hospital, while over 20 others suffered from tear gas inhalation.

1. Illegal Israeli colonists attack your village.
2. You defend your village against the illegal Israeli colonists.
3. The IDF shows up.
4. The IDF starts shooting at you defending your village.
Right wing Israeli zionism: priceless.
