Hebron: Armed Israeli colonists on Friday demolished an agricultural structure, bulldozed land, and attacked homes and agricultural fields belonging to Palestinian residents in the southern Hebron area, according to local sources.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Osama Makhmara, a local anti-settlement activist, reported that a group of armed colonists from the illegal settlement of Otniel used a bulldozer to demolish a 50-square-meter agricultural shack in the Khillet al-Farra area west of Yatta. The structure belonged to a local resident, and the colonists also razed the surrounding farmland.
In another incident in the Khillet al-Hummus area, southeast of Yatta, colonists assaulted the home of resident Mohammad Abdullah Obaid. They smashed windows and looted furniture, equipment, and mobile phones belonging to his wife and son, aiming to prevent them from documenting the attack.
Following the raid, Israeli forces detained Obaid for several hours and subjected him to interrogation. Furthermore, the colonists smashed the windows of a sanitary unit and released their cattle into residents' fields and around their homes. This resulted in the uprooting and destruction of numerous fruit-bearing grapevines and other trees, as well as the complete devastation of the irrigation network.
