JENIN (Ma'an) -- Israeli troops erected three military tents near the
main road of the northern West Bank town of Yabad on Tuesday morning.
Eyewitnesses
told a Ma'an reporter that they saw three military tents on Palestinian
olive trees near the main road between Jenin and Tulkarem.
Large numbers of Israeli soldiers deployed in the area, they added.
Locals
said that they believe the Israeli military activity was in response to
an attack with stones at an Israeli settler's vehicle traveling on the
main road. The vehicle's windshield was smashed as a result of the
attack.
In response, Israeli forces had threatened to occupy local houses if stone throwers continue to attack Israeli vehicles.
More
than 500,000 Israeli settlers live in settlements across the West Bank
and East Jerusalem, in contravention of international law.
The
internationally recognized Palestinian territories of which the West
Bank and East Jerusalem form a part have been occupied by the Israeli
military since 1967.
