Palestinian villagers are suing two Canadian construction companies over their involvement in building a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank.
The case, filed at a court in Montreal, accuses the firms of violating international and Canadian law.
The Palestinians are seeking a court order to halt building work.
The lawyer for the villagers says this is the first case in which a foreign private sector company has been sued for investing in West Bank settlements.
The two companies, both registered in the province of Quebec, could not be reached for comment.
