NABLUS (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Jewish settlers attacked Palestinian villagers in Jalud village, southeast of Nablus city, on Tuesday evening moderately wounding one of them after opening gunfire in the attack, eyewitnesses reported.

They said that the settlers were hiding in the fields and fired at the young farmers who were tending to their land, adding that Wa'el Obad was hit with a bullet in his abdomen.

Medical sources in Rafidia hospital in Nablus, where Obad was being treated, said that his condition was stable.

Jalud village is surrounded by four Jewish settlements and is the target of systematic attacks by settlers.

- We achieved part of justice through the return of the lands to its people and through the punishment [of Israeli soldiers] by the fighters of the Resistance.

- After the end of the July War [in 2006], the people, army and Resistance [in Lebanon] are making justice and stability.

- This formula is what defends Lebanon today.

- Regarding the Lebanese situation, we have important issues happening.

- There is the issue of the Resistance’s arms. What is left of the March 14 coalition is determined to re-address the issue of weapons.

- This issue has been a national dispute. The weapons are just a detail in the issue of the Resistance. We, in Lebanon, are disagreeing on the Resistance [concept].

- The liberty we have been granted in South Lebanon was due to the blood of the martyrs and not [achieved] through agreements.

- We consider our participation in [past] national dialogue sessions as a concession. If the people are ready for dialogue, however, we are ready for dialogue and have no problem with it.

- If you are estimating that the daily statements [against Hezbollah] might affect or weaken the Resistance, you are wrong.

- We move on to the issue of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL). We in Lebanon are the people of truth and justice and believe that Justice brings stability… but after all these years, the leaders of [March 14] should re-assess: [will] the track of the tribunal lead to the truth?

- We, the Lebanese people, are concerned with re-discussing this issue. Is there another way to find out the truth? Yes, but you [March 14 parties] have lost this chance.
