Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out a series of attacks across the occupied West Bank on Thursday, targeting Palestinian schoolchildren, vehicles, livestock, homes, and agricultural areas, while Israeli forces simultaneously imposed movement restrictions and carried out invasions in several districts.
In the central West Bank, colonizers uprooted olive trees in the Palestinian community of Abu Fazza‘, near the village of al‑Taybeh east of Ramallah.
Residents also reported that a colonizer threw garbage onto a Palestinian home in the same community, part of a pattern of ongoing harassment and attempts to pressure families to leave the area.
Also, a group of colonizers attacked a vehicle transporting schoolchildren from the village of al‑Rashayda to their school in Kisan east of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank.
Local sources reported that the colonizers closed the main road between Kisan and al‑Rashayda near the illegal “Ma’ale Amos” colony and attacked the vehicle, causing panic among the students.
Residents noted a sharp escalation in colonizer attacks against schoolchildren in both villages, including attempted vehicular assaults, harassment, and intimidation.
North of occupied Jerusalem, colonizers blocked a road used by Palestinian residents to reach the town of Mikhmas, while simultaneously opening an alternative route that grants colonizers direct access into the center of the town.
In Masafer Yatta south of Hebron in the southern West Bank, a group of colonizers infiltrated a livestock enclosure in the Khirbet al‑Nabi area and stole forty‑five sheep belonging to Ibrahim Abu Ali.
In a separate incident, colonizers wearing Israeli military uniforms detained Mohammad al‑Nawaj‘a near Wadi al‑Jheish, assaulted him, and damaged his vehicle before fleeing the area.
In another attack in Masafer Yatta, a paramilitary colonizer released livestock into the Khirbet al‑Halawa area while vandalizing Palestinian property and intimidating residents.
Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers imposed a curfew on Palestinians in the Jaber, Salayma, and Wadi al‑Hussein neighborhoods of Hebron city, further restricting movement in an area already heavily controlled by military roadblocks and colonizer presence.
In the northern West Bank, a group of colonizers attacked the ath‑Thahra area of Beita south of Nablus, smashing the windows of a parked vehicle.
In a separate incident, a young woman from the village of ‘Awrata was injured after colonizers assaulted her near the illegal “Yitzhar” colony built on Palestinian land south of Nablus.
