Israeli colonizers, backed by Israeli occupation forces, carried out a series of coordinated attacks across several areas of the occupied West Bank on Sunday, targeting Palestinian homes, vehicles, and agricultural lands while soldiers imposed additional movement restrictions at nearby military roadblocks.
In the southern West Bank, colonizers stole a horse from the village of Jouret ash‑Sham’a, south of Bethlehem.
Ali Salim, head of the village council, said colonizers—accompanied by Israeli soldiers—invaded the village and positioned themselves at its main entrance before stealing a horse belonging to resident Mustafa Hammad.
He added that colonizer attacks in the area have intensified in recent weeks, including the pursuit of farmers, harassment of residents, and the seizure of construction materials.
In the central West Bank, groups of colonizers invaded the eastern neighborhoods of Al‑Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, bringing cattle with them and approaching the homes of Palestinian families.
Local sources said the incursion triggered tension and confrontations between residents and the colonizers, while Israeli soldiers provided full protection to the attackers and assaulted Palestinians in the area.
Al‑Mughayyir and its surroundings have faced continuous attacks by colonizers and Israeli forces, including invasions of residential and grazing areas, assaults on residents, and attempts to seize additional land for colonial expansion.
Later in the day, dozens of colonizers attacked Palestinian vehicles traveling on the Ramallah–Nablus road, throwing stones at passing cars near the illegal colony of Shilo, northeast of Ramallah. Several vehicles were damaged, though no injuries were reported.
Israeli forces simultaneously tightened movement restrictions in the area, closing the Atara military roadblock north of Ramallah and detaining several Palestinians there.
Soldiers also intensified inspections at the Ein Siniya military roadblock, causing severe traffic congestion and long delays for residents traveling between Ramallah and nearby towns.
In the northern West Bank, colonizers attacked a Palestinian home in the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus, damaging a vehicle parked outside the property. Residents said colonizer attacks in the area have become increasingly frequent, often carried out under the protection of Israeli forces.
Sunday’s incidents reflect a broader pattern of escalating colonizer violence across the occupied West Bank, where Palestinian communities continue to face land seizures, home invasions, assaults, and movement restrictions carried out jointly by colonizers and Israeli forces.
Rights groups warn that the coordinated nature of these attacks is part of a systematic effort to pressure Palestinian residents, restrict their access to land, and expand Israeli colonial control.
