West Bank (QNN)- Israeli forces shot journalist Muath Amarneh in his eye while he was covering confrontations between native Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in Sourif in northern Hebron on Friday. Local sources said Amarneh was among other journalists and photojournalists, who were covering Friday prayer and protests against Israeli confiscation of the village's lands, when Israeli forces attack them with bullets, tear gas and stun grenades. On another front, Palestinian farmers were attacked today by Israeli illegal settlers in Jaloud in southern Nablus. Ghassan Daghlas, a PA official who monitors settlement activities in the northern West Bank, said that the settlers attacked the farmers and beat them before preventing them from harvesting their crops.
