Violent clashes erupted early Tuesday between Palestinian youths and Israeli soldiers after the occupation forces stormed the Kifl Haris town near Salfit city to provide protection for Israeli settlers, who visited a site they claim to be a Jewish shrine and performed their Talmudic rites.
Head of Kifl Haris Municipal Council Ezzat Shaqour said in a statement that Israeli forces closed all the town’s entrances and imposed a curfew in order to secure the entry of the settlers who arrived in large numbers late Monday.
He said that Israeli soldiers fired sound bombs and tear gas canisters, leaving a number of Palestinian youths injured.
The town of Kafel Hares has several religious shrines, including the Islamic shrines of Dhul-Kifl, Joshua and Dhul-Nun, which settlers claim to be tombs for their prophets.
