Hundreds of settlers to march near Nablus against attacks

Palestinian officials said that settlers from Yitzhar and other nearby settlements will march at 2 p.m. to an intersection where a settler car was set on fire last week by a Molotov cocktail throw by youths.
 
The main road in Huwwara and the Zatara checkpoint will likely be closed for over two hours while the protest takes place, security officials added.
 
Overnight Monday,Israeli forces imposed a curfew on the Palestinian village of Huwwara south of Nablus in the northern West Bank after aMolotovcocktail was hurled at a bus of Israeli settlers on a main road near the village.
 
In 2014, there were 324 incidents of settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
 
The Nablus area experiences one of the highest rates of settler violence due to the location of settlements near Palestinian population centers.
 
The Nablus district, which includes the city, three refugee camps and fifteen villages, is home to over 200,000 Palestinians whose movement has been several restricted for the past six years, Israeli human rights group B'Tselem describing military restrictions on locals as a "siege."
