NABLUS, February 12, 2012 (WAFA) – A group of Jewish settlers Sunday opened a new road through Palestinian-owned land, in Qarut, a village south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, to use it on their motorcycles, according to a Palestinian activist.

Ghassan Douglas, in charge of settlements file at the Palestinian Authority in the northern part of the West Bank, told WAFA that a group of Jewish settlers began opening a road, using hand tools to facilitate the passage of their motorbikes between the settlements of Shilo and Eilih built illegally on Palestinian land.
