Hebron: Settlers attacked Palestinian local residents and their property on Saturday in several areas across the Hebron Governorate under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, anti-settlement activist Osama Makhameh reported that dozens of colonists chased the family of Ziad Mur while they were harvesting their land in Khirbet Munizel in Masafer Yatta and stole their agricultural equipment.
Makhameh further detailed that colonists assaulted a foreign activist in the Khallat al-Homs area south of Yatta as she was documenting their attack on the property of the Abed al-Masri family. The colonists released their cattle onto Palestinian-owned land, resulting in damage to trees and crops.
In a related incident, Israeli troops conducted a raid in Khirbet Sadda al-Tha'la in Masafer Yatta. They searched homes and livestock pens, detained residents, restricted their movement within the village, and assaulted them, escalating tensions in the area.
Meanwhile, in the Wadi Sa'ir area, colonists destroyed olive trees belonging to Nizam Taleb Shalalda. Additionally, in the town of Idhna, west of Hebron, Israeli forces detained farmers Abdul Rahman Tamiza and Adli al-Sura, physically assaulting them and causing injuries and bruises. These attacks occurred concurrently with colonists grazing their sheep on Palestinian-owned land and preventing landowners from accessing their property.
Medical sources disclosed that in Bani Na'im, east of Hebron, dozens of colonists severely beat a Palestinian woman, resulting in injuries and bruises throughout her body. Red Crescent teams later transferred her to the hospital for medical treatment.
