Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers, operating under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, carried out coordinated attacks on Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank on Sunday.
The assaults targeted homes, agricultural lands, livestock areas, and farmers in multiple districts, including Ramallah in the central West Bank, Jenin in the northern West Bank, Nablus in the northern West Bank, and Hebron in the southern West Bank.
In Al‑Mughayyer, northeast of Ramallah, colonizers attacked farmers in the eastern plain. Village council head Amin Abu Alia said residents confronted the attackers, and no injuries were reported.
Israeli forces then invaded the village to secure the colonizers, abducted Ala’ Abu Alia and Hani Abu Alia, and fired tear‑gas canisters toward residential areas.
Earlier in the day, colonizers released livestock into farmlands in the Al‑Khalayel area south of the village, destroying cultivated crops.
Further attacks were documented east of Taybeh, also northeast of Ramallah, where colonizers stormed Palestinian land and threatened the family of Mohammad Aref Mosallam, principal of Turmus Ayya School, after invading Khirbet al‑Marajim between Al‑Mughayyer and Duma.
In Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, large groups of colonizers spread across the Al‑Hafer area, while in Beitillu west of Ramallah, colonizers roamed the Ein az‑Zarqa area, provoking residents, and damaging property.
Additional harassment occurred near the homes of the Abu Fazza’ family close to the illegal colony of Karamelo east of Taybeh.
In the northern West Bank district of Jenin, colonizers invaded Khirbet Masoud near Ya’bad. Overnight, colonizers cut down dozens of fruit trees—including guava and avocado—in Khirbet Farasin west of Jenin.
The land belongs to Raed Ahmad Nasser Amarna, and some of the trees were more than ten years old. Residents said colonizers from the illegal colony of Harmesh repeatedly target Farasin, often cutting trees just before harvest to deprive families of their produce and income.
In Nablus, in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces and colonizers invaded Al‑Lubban ash‑Sharqiya south of the city, firing tear‑gas canisters at homes.
Colonizers also drove through the outskirts of the village in a provocative tour near homes and the new mosque.
Before dawn, colonizers invaded Beit Amrin north of Nablus and stole a tractor belonging to resident Munir Shaker Haj Suleiman.
In Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank, colonizers burned a Palestinian home in Khirbet Um Zrayyet east of Shu’ab al‑Batem.
Anti‑colonization activist Osama Makhamra said armed colonizers, escorted by Israeli soldiers, infiltrated the home of Mohammad Abdul‑Rahman Jabarin and set it on fire.
Additional provocations were reported east of Sa’ir north of Hebron and in Khallet al‑Hummus in Masafer Yatta, where colonizers released livestock into Palestinian farmlands.
The Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission reported that Israeli forces and colonizers carried out 2,256 violations against Palestinians and their property in July.
The report documented 1,458 violations committed by Israeli forces and 798 attacks carried out by colonizers. The highest concentrations occurred in Ramallah and al‑Bireh (260), Nablus (247), Jenin (190), Bethlehem (185), and Hebron (170).

The commission said the data reflects a clear pattern of coordination between the Israeli military and colonizer groups, with the army providing protection and operational space that enables colonizer violence and facilitates long‑term land seizure.
These are some of the documented violations carried out by illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers and the occupation army across the West Bank.
Many incidents remain underreported or unrecorded due to the ongoing nature of the attacks, military restrictions, road closures, and the isolation of targeted communities.
