Israeli violations escalated across the occupied West Bank on Friday, with illegal paramilitary colonizers carrying out a series of coordinated attacks, home takeovers, and property destruction in multiple areas, particularly around Ramallah in the central West Bank and the northern Jordan Valley.
Local sources reported that colonizers invaded the town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah, at dawn and seized the home of Wadea’ Khaled, a resident of the town who lives abroad.
The colonizers broke into the property, looted its contents, and erected a colonial tent beside it.
They also cultivated and harvested land in the eastern area of the town after preventing its Palestinian owners from accessing it.
In a separate incident north of Ramallah, colonizers attacked a vehicle carrying a family from the nearby village of Deir Ghassana as it passed near the village of Atara.
The attackers smashed the vehicle’s windows, causing damage and terrorizing the passengers.
Before sunrise, colonizers also invaded the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, where they hurled stones at the home of Nael Mustafa, shattering its windows.
They then targeted a commercial vehicle and smashed its windows before blocking the village’s main entrance with stones, restricting movement for residents.
In occupied Jerusalem, two colonizers were documented throwing stones and glass objects at Palestinians passing near the Wadi al-Rababa bridge in the Silwan neighborhood, placing residents at risk of injury.
In the northern Jordan Valley, colonizers set fire to dozens of bags of stored hay and water networks in the Khallet Khader al-Farisiyya area.
Human rights activist Aref Daraghma stated that Palestinian Civil Defense crews rushed to the scene and managed to extinguish the flames, preventing further damage to surrounding agricultural land.
In Hebron in the southern West Bank, a colonizer assaulted residents in Khirbet al-Halawa in the Masafer Yatta area, where Palestinian communities continue to face repeated attacks and attempts to force them from their land.
In Jenin in the northern West Bank, a group of colonizers invaded the village of Khirbet Mas’ud, south of the city, roaming between homes while threatening to open fire at residents and their properties.
These incidents form part of a broader pattern of escalating colonizer violence across the occupied West Bank, carried out under the protection of Israeli forces and resulting in widespread damage to Palestinian homes, vehicles, and agricultural property.
