An 'Israeli' settler abducted two Palestinian brothers on Wednesday while they were driving along the road connecting the town of Asira al-Shamaliya to Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
According to security sources, the settler intercepted a gas transportation truck near Route 17—the northern entrance to Nablus—and forcibly seized the vehicle's keys.
The settler then abducted both the driver and the passenger, identified as brothers Muhammad and Omar Hamadneh from Asira al-Shamaliya, and took them to an unknown destination.
Escalating road attacks
The incident marks the latest in a growing series of settler attacks targeting Palestinian motorists, commercial drivers, and residents on main roads and junctions throughout the West Bank.
Local community leaders and official institutions renewed demands for immediate international protection for Palestinian citizens, while family members and authorities continue seeking information regarding the fate and safety of the abducted brothers.
