Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers injured a man and his child and carried out a series of additional attacks across the occupied West Bank on Friday, burning property, invading Palestinian communities, and targeting agricultural lands from the southern to the northern districts.
In Hebron in the southern West Bank, a man and his child were injured after Israeli colonizers attacked them with sharp tools in the village of Shweika south of the city.
Local sources reported that Murad al‑Battat and his child were assaulted while working on their land, sustaining head injuries that required hospital treatment. The attackers also smashed the windows of al‑Battat’s vehicle and caused extensive damage.
In a related incident, Israeli occupation forces invaded the town of Beit Ummar north of Hebron and deployed across several neighborhoods.
In the Bethlehem district in the southern West Bank, colonizers assaulted a resident in the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem city.
Media sources said the colonizers attacked Mohammad Abdul‑Fattah Deeriya while he was on his land in the Wadi Seef area and stole his mobile phone.
Residents noted that colonizer attacks in the area have sharply escalated in recent weeks, including repeated assaults, injuries, and the abduction of Palestinians on their own property.
In Nablus in the northern West Bank, colonizers set fire to a home in the village of Al‑Lubban ash‑Sharqiya south of the city.
Village Council member Sarhan Daraghma said the colonizers ignited the house of Mohammad al‑Khalil, located along the main road between Nablus and Ramallah, causing a blaze that required civil defense crews to intervene.
In the Ramallah district in the central West Bank, dozens of colonizers invaded the outskirts of Abwein north of the city, carrying out provocative actions near Palestinian homes.
Israeli forces also invaded the town of Silwad, deploying military vehicles and foot patrols throughout the area. Later in the evening, colonizers attacked the outskirts of Silwad again, prompting confrontations with residents who attempted to repel the assault.
Earlier in the day, colonizers used heavy machinery to carve a new colonial road between the villages of Al‑Mughayir and Khirbet Abu Falah northeast of Ramallah.
Local sources said a colonizer‑operated bulldozer uprooted land on Jabal Si‘a to create a route intended to link several colonial outposts in the area. Colonizers also invaded Palestinian‑owned land between the village of Jaljulia and the town of Sinjil north of Ramallah.
These incidents form part of a broader pattern of escalating colonizer violence and Israeli military invasions across the occupied West Bank, targeting Palestinian communities, agricultural lands, and residential areas.
