Jerusalem: Israeli colonists abducted a Palestinian man on Thursday from the village of Beit Iksa, northwest of occupied Jerusalem, according to local sources.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the colonists abducted Issa Maher Zayed as he was making his way to his land situated near a newly established colonial outpost on the village's lands. Zayed was intercepted by the colonists, who then abducted him and took him into the outpost.
The incident marks a continuation of escalating tensions in Beit Iksa, where Israeli colonists have intensified their activities. The establishment of new outposts on lands belonging to residents has led to increased confrontations, with colonists preventing Palestinian villagers from accessing their agricultural properties.
