Later in the day, four Palestinians were injured when armed colonizers attacked residents in Wadi ar\u2011Rakhim in Masafer Yatta.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers, backed by the Israeli occupation army, carried out a series of coordinated attacks on Palestinians and their property across several areas of the occupied West Bank on Saturday, including the southern Hebron district, Bethlehem, the central Ramallah region, and the Jericho area in the eastern Jordan Valley.<\/p>\n
The assaults involved physical attacks, home invasions, destruction of agricultural land, and the targeting of entire Palestinian communities.<\/p>\n
In the southern West Bank, colonizers assaulted Palestinian families harvesting their land in Khirbet Mneizel in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.<\/p>\n
Anti\u2011colonization activist Osama Makhamra said the attackers chased the family of Ziad Morr and stole agricultural equipment. In the nearby Khallet al\u2011Hums area, colonizers assaulted an international activist who was documenting their destruction of property belonging to the Obaid al\u2011Masri family.<\/p>\n
The attackers also released their cattle onto Palestinian farmland, damaging trees, and crops.<\/p>\n
Later in the day, four Palestinians were injured when armed colonizers attacked residents in Wadi ar\u2011Rakhim in Masafer Yatta.<\/p>\n
Makhamra stated that the attackers used stones, clubs, and pepper spray, causing bruises, wounds, and cases of suffocation. All four were transferred to Yatta Governmental Hospital, where their injuries were described as moderate.<\/p>\n
Israeli occupation forces simultaneously invaded Khirbet Sada al\u2011Tha\u2019la in Masafer Yatta, broke into homes and livestock shelters, assaulted residents, and restricted their movement inside the community.<\/p>\n
In addition, a group of colonizers attacked Palestinian residents and shepherds in the Khirbet al\u2011Halawa Bedouin village in Masafer Yatta.<\/p>\n
In the Wadi Sa\u2019ir area, colonizers uprooted and destroyed olive trees belonging to Palestinian farmer Nitham Taleb Shallalda.<\/p>\n
In the town of Ethna, west of Hebron, Israeli forces detained two farmers, Abdul Rahman Tmeiza and Adli al\u2011Soura, and assaulted them, causing moderate injuries.<\/p>\n
The attack occurred as colonizers grazed their sheep on Palestinian\u2011owned land east of the town while preventing the landowners from reaching their property.<\/p>\n
Medical sources also reported that colonizers severely beat a Palestinian woman in Bani Naim, east of Hebron, before the Palestinian Red Crescent transferred her to a hospital.<\/p>\n
In the Bethlehem district of the southern West Bank, colonizers invaded the Abu Njeim area southeast of Bethlehem and attacked Palestinian homes with stones, injuring Nabhan Mohammad Nasrallah.<\/p>\n
Later in the evening, colonizers attacked additional homes in the Khallet an\u2011Nahla area near Wadi Rahhal, south of Bethlehem. No injuries were reported in the second attack, though residents said the assaults caused widespread fear among families. Earlier in the day, colonizers had also attacked homes in Abu Njeim, injuring one resident.<\/p>\n
In the central West Bank, colonizers released their livestock around Palestinian homes in the Is\u2019hameen Bedouin community east of the village of al\u2011Taybeh, east of Ramallah, damaging crops, and grazing areas.<\/p>\n
In a separate incident, armed Israelis stormed the outskirts of the village of Abwein, north of Ramallah, and opened fire at Palestinians. No injuries were reported, but residents said the attack caused panic among families.<\/p>\n
In the Jericho area of the eastern West Bank, colonizers attacked the Arab al\u2011Ka\u2019abna Bedouin community west of al\u2011Auja, north of Jericho.<\/p>\n
The al\u2011Baidar Human Rights Organization stated that the attackers cut the metal fence surrounding the home of Suleiman Ka\u2019abna and filmed livestock inside the family\u2019s barn.<\/p>\n
The community, composed of displaced Palestinian Bedouin families, has faced repeated attacks targeting their homes, livestock, and livelihoods.<\/p>\n
Colonizers also invaded the Halaq al\u2011Rummana community west of Jericho, spreading between Palestinian homes and terrifying residents.<\/p>\n
In another incident, colonizers invaded the Wadi al\u2011Hayat community, also known as Wadi Abu al\u2011Hayat, west of al\u2011Auja, broke into a Palestinian home, and stole approximately 5,000 shekels. Al\u2011Baidar said the attackers searched the home of Attallah Ka\u2019abna and terrorized children during the invasion.<\/p>\n
The community, home to displaced families from the Arab al\u2011Ka\u2019abna tribe, faces frequent attacks amid ongoing Israeli violations across the Jordan Valley.<\/p>\n
In the northern West Bank, a Palestinian man was injured when Israelis attacked residents on the outskirts of the village of Tell, southwest of Nablus.<\/p>\n
Local sources said the attackers targeted Palestinians working on their land, causing injuries, and forcing several residents to flee the area.<\/p>\n
