10 Injured, Ambulances Attacked in Violent Assault by Colonists Near Ramallah

Ramallah: Ten Palestinian residents were injured on Friday in a violent assault by Israeli colonists in the Khirbet al-Tall area of Jabal al-Batin, south of the town of Sinjil in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate.

According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, activist Ayed Ghafari reported that dozens of colonists assaulted local residents and international solidarity activists as they attempted to reach Khirbet al-Tall to dismantle an illegal colonial outpost recently set up in the area.

The assault left 10 residents from the towns of Sinjil, al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya, Abwein, and Jiljilyya, north of Ramallah, with injuries and bone fractures. Ghafari confirmed that a colonist vehicle deliberately ran over one activist. Additionally, two ambulances were deliberately targeted and damaged during the attack, with their windows shattered.

Colonists' violence and provocations against Palestinians and their properties have significantly increased since the onset of the all-out Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in October.
