On Saturday evening, illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers fired live rounds at Palestinian homes in the village of At-Tabaqa, southwest of Hebron in the occupied West Bank’s southern part.
Eyewitnesses said that a group of armed colonizers from the Negohot illegal colony and a newly established outpost on stolen Palestinian land in the Khallet Taha area stormed the Al-Abed area in At-Tabaqa village, firing live rounds at Palestinian homes.
The attack caused damage and severe anxiety attacks among children and a 63-year-old woman.
In the Tawwas area, west of Doura town, southwest of Hebron, armed colonizers attacked several farmers, preventing them from plowing and planting their lands, and forced them to leave the area under threat of weapons.
In a related incident, colonizers, accompanied by Israeli occupation forces, invaded the streets and neighborhoods of the Old City of Hebron.
The Israeli soldiers imposed strict military measures on the residents, including closing several roads and entrances leading to the area, restricting movement, and preventing residents from moving freely.
Also, groups of illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked many cars at intersections in the Salfit governorate, in the occupied West Bank’s central part.
All of Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention in addition to various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.
Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory”.
