Earlier today, Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Emergency and Ambulance Department at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), said that Israeli occupation forces opened fire towards the villagers who protested the pillage of their land to construct a new illegal settlement atop Jabal Sbeih (Sbeih Mountain), near the village.
The residents of Beita and the surrounding villages have been holding weekly Friday rallies to protest the construction of the new illegal Jewish settlement of Givat Eviatar atop Jabal Sabih.
