Hebron: Several Palestinians were injured when a house and two vehicles were set on fire in an attack by colonists, supported by occupation forces, on the town of Sa'ir northeast of Hebron. The incident, which occurred this evening, has raised concerns about the escalating violence in the region.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the house owner, Issa Shallaldeh, reported that colonists targeted his family's homes in the Wad Sa'ir area, resulting in the burning of his son's house and two family vehicles. Shallaldeh further noted that the colonists used batons and sharp tools to assault residents, leading to several women suffering bruises and extensive property damage.
Eyewitnesses recounted that occupation forces obstructed ambulance and fire crews from accessing the Wad Sa'ir area, exacerbating the situation. The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission recorded a total of 2,350 attacks in October, with 1,584 perpetrated by the occupation army and 766 by colonists.
The report highlights that the highest number of attacks occurred in Ramallah and Al-Bireh, with 542 incidents, followed by Nablus with 412 attacks, and Hebron with 401.
