Israeli occupation forces and illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out multiple coordinated attacks across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, injuring residents, abducting others, and destroying essential infrastructure in several districts.
In the northeastern West Bank, colonizers assaulted a Palestinian man in the Ein al‑Hilweh area of the northern Jordan Valley.
Local sources said colonizers attacked Hilal Adel Daraghma, causing bruises while he was near his family’s tents.
Shortly afterward, Israeli occupation forces abducted Ehab Qadri Daraghma from the same area after colonizers incited the soldiers against him, according to the director of the Prisoners’ Society office in Tubas, Kamal Bani Odeh.
In the northern West Bank, colonizers attacked a home in the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus. Local sources reported that several colonizers threw stones at the house of Abdel‑Salam Salah on the outskirts of the village while Israeli occupation forces provided protection for the attackers.
In the southern West Bank, Israeli occupation forces abducted a Palestinian man during an attempt by residents to stop colonizers who assaulted a group from the YMCA during a field visit in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
Media activist Osama Makhamra said soldiers abducted Jihad Ahmad Makhamra after he tried to prevent colonizers from grazing their sheep on agricultural land surrounding his home.
Colonizers also assaulted YMCA staff and field workers in the Wadi al‑Rakhim area south of Yatta as they documented the hardships faced by residents in the region.
In the Bethlehem district in the southern West Bank, colonizers destroyed the main drinking‑water network in the village of Al‑Rashayda, east of the city, cutting off water to homes and livestock.
The head of the village council, Bakr Rashayda, said colonizers damaged the water line at the village entrance, depriving residents and herders of their primary water source.
He explained that the community depends heavily on livestock, with approximately 35,000 sheep and more than 700 camels, and that targeting the water network directly harms this vital sector and inflicts significant financial losses on herders.
Rashayda added that colonizer attacks have escalated in recent weeks, including chasing shepherds, preventing them from reaching grazing areas, seizing livestock, and demolishing rooms and tents in the Bedouin areas surrounding the village.
