Bethlehem: Several Palestinians were injured on Saturday evening when Israeli colonists attacked the Kisan wilderness area east of Bethlehem, south of the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Ahmad Ghazal, secretary of the Fatah movement in Kisan, stated that a group of colonists assaulted local homes, vandalized property, and threw stones at residents. This resulted in multiple injuries, including bruises and wounds among the local population.
Ghazal explained that Israeli forces were involved in the assault by firing stun grenades and tear gas canisters at residents. This action led to additional cases of suffocation due to gas inhalation amongst those present in the area.
He further reported that the colonists obstructed ambulances and medical teams from reaching the injured individuals. Additionally, the colonists slaughtered several sheep with knives, injured others by pelting them with stones, and caused damage to several vehicles.
