Illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers carried out a series of attacks on Saturday across the occupied West Bank, invading homes, targeting a utility crew, and stealing essential infrastructure in incidents that rights groups say reflect an ongoing pattern of violence against Palestinian communities.
The attacks, concentrated in the Ramallah and Bethlehem districts, raised concerns about civilian safety and the stability of vital public services.
In the central West Bank, colonizers broke into the home of Nayef Ka’abna in the Arab al‑Ka’abna Bedouin community east of the village of Taybeh, east of Ramallah.
The Al‑Baidar rights organization said the assault is part of repeated violations targeting Bedouin communities, noting that such attacks have intensified pressure on residents and heightened fears for their safety and property.
In the southern West Bank, a field crew from the Jerusalem District Electricity Company, based in occupied Jerusalem, was attacked while conducting maintenance work in the rural area between Abu Njeim and Wadi Rahhal, southeast of Bethlehem.
The company said masked colonizers assaulted the official service vehicle with clubs and sharp tools, causing material damage. The crew was not physically injured, and the company said the driver’s decision to continue moving prevented more serious harm.
The company condemned the attack and reaffirmed its commitment to protecting its field teams and maintaining uninterrupted service despite ongoing risks.
In addition, a group of colonizers blockaded the main road between Beitunia and Beit ‘Ur at‑Tahta and the surrounding villages, west of Ramallah, preventing Palestinians from crossing.
Also in Ramallah, a group of colonizers invaded Palestinian lands in Ghoraba area in Sinjil town, north of the city, and released their livestock to graze.
In the southeast of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, colonizers invaded the area of Khalayel al‑Louz, vandalized property, and stole water pipes located near the reservoir that supplies drinking water to the community.
Local officials said repeated attacks on irrigation and water infrastructure have disrupted water access and harmed agricultural activity.
Rights groups and local security sources said Saturday’s incidents align with a broader pattern of colonizer violence documented across the occupied West Bank.
In Sa’ir town, north of Hebron in the southern West Bank, a group of colonizers invaded Hamroush area, east of the towns and forced the Palestinians to leave their lands.
In Jenin, in northern West Bank, a group of colonizers blocked the main road between the towns of Arraba and Ya’bad, south of the city, preventing the Palestinians from crossing.
Similar attacks, vandalism, and theft have been reported in Nablus in the northern West Bank, Jenin in the northern West Bank, Qalqilia in the northwestern West Bank, Tulkarem in the northwestern West Bank, Salfit in the central West Bank, and Tubas in the northeastern West Bank.
On Thursday, four Palestinian citizens were wounded, one seriously, during a colonizer attack in the village of Deir Abu Mash’al, northwest of Ramallah.
