NABLUS, Thursday, October 21, 2021 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers today hijacked a garbage truck owned by the Palestinian town council of Qusra, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, and took it away, according to a local official.

Ghassan Daghlas, the official in charge of the settlements file in the Nablus area, told WAFA that settlers surrounded the garbage truck as it proceeded with its daily work, and commandeered it under gunpoint. Israeli soldiers summoned to the area provided cover for the settlers.

Qusra residents attempted to salvage the truck from the settlers. The soldiers, however, intervened on behalf of the settlers and forced the residents back.
