Gaza: Israeli colonists, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, attacked Palestinian homes on Monday evening in the village of al-Tuwani in the Masafer Yatta region, south of Hebron.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, anti-settlement activist Osama Makhamreh reported that the colonists targeted the homes of the Musa Rab'i family, causing panic among children and women. The attack further escalated tensions in the region, which has seen frequent conflicts over settlement activities.
Israeli occupation forces detained al-Tuwani Village Council head Mohammad Rab'i, Susya Village Council head Nasr al-Nawaj'ah, and a foreign activist for approximately one hour. This detention added to the already charged atmosphere, as local leaders and activists were temporarily taken into custody during the incident.
Meanwhile, an elderly Palestinian woman, Khadra Rab'i, sustained bruises after being assaulted by the colonists in the area. The physical assault on Rab'i highlights the growing concerns over the safety and security of residents in the region amidst ongoing settlement disputes.
