🇵🇸 Israeli forces have abducted Dr. Nizar Kayed, the 70-year-old deputy mayor of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to journalist Jasper Nathaniel, who identified Kayed as a friend.
Kayed has spoken out against Israel’s planned land seizures around the town’s archaeological site, warning that Palestinians were being stripped of water resources, roads, and antiquities. “It is part of settlement expansion,” he told Reuters in June.
