Nablus (QNN)- Israeli forces today morning closed all entrances leading to Mount Sabih in Beita town in Nablus in the northern of occupied West Bank. Local sources said that Israeli forces bulldozers closed all the entrances leading to Mount Sabih to prevent access of Palestinian protesters to the illegal settlement outpost of Evyatar, which was recently built on Mount Sabih. Sources said that the forces prevented all residents from reaching to the Mount Sabih. Several protests have been held in recent months in Mount Sabih against Israel's building of the illegal outpost there. The livelihoods of at least 17 Palestinian families – more than 100 people – are threatened as they depend on harvesting their olives on land they have owned for generations. Villages in the occupied West Bank often hold Friday demonstrations against land confiscation, house demolitions and Israeli settlements deemed illegal under international law. Israeli forces usually respond to the protests with violence. There are nearly 700,000 Israeli settlers living in 256 illegal settlements and outposts scattered across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Israeli settlements are illegal under international law.
