RAMALLAH, August 28, 2018 (WAFA) – Israeli forces detained on Tuesday WAFA photographer Baha Nasr and others, among them the head of a local village council, after residents of the village of Ras Karkar, to the west of Ramallah, tried to prevent settlers from taking over their land to open a road to the area settlements, according to local sources.

The residents came out to stop the settlers when soldiers giving cover to the settlers attacked the residents, showering them with tear gas and detaining Nasr, the head of nearby Kufr Nimeh village council Khaldoun al-Deek,  and two other local residents.
