Ramallah: Two Palestinians were injured on Saturday evening during a colonist attack on Al-Mughayyer, north of Ramallah, while colonists set fire to an agricultural room in the nearby village of Abu Falah, according to local sources.

According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, activist Mohammed Abu Aliya reported that colonists fired live ammunition during the attack on farmland, injuring a Palestinian youth in the chest and a child in the foot. This incident occurred amid an ongoing Israeli military raid into Al-Mughayyer, during which the military provided protection for the colonists.

He further noted that colonists attacked the nearby village of Abu Falah, setting an agricultural room on fire. The room belonged to Mousa Abu Karsh, a resident of the village.

Colonist attacks across the West Bank have been frequent in recent years. These attacks often involve live fire, property damage, theft of livestock, destruction of crops, and intimidation of Palestinian residents. They are usually carried out under the protection or presence of Israeli military forces.
