Ramallah, Aug. 28 (Petra)– Extremist Jewish settlers on Friday
prevented Palestinian residents from performing Friday prayer in
Khirbet Tana, located within the lands of Beit Furik, east of Nablus
in the northern occupied West Bank.

In a statement, the Beit Furik Municipal Council said a group of
settlers, dressed in Israeli military uniforms, stormed the eastern
area of Beit Furik and prevented residents from heading to perform
prayers at the Al-Wali and Haj Hussein mosques in Khirbet Tana.

The area, located near Beit Furik, is under threat of confiscation by
the Israeli occupation authorities and extremist settlers, the
