For about four months, Palestinians from Beita and neighboring villages have been holding almost daily protests against Israel’s construction of an illegal settlement outpost on Jabal Sabih mount, which is adjacent to the village.
Several Palestinian protesters have been killed and dozens wounded by Israeli occupation forces supporting the illegal settlers during the protests.
