Illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers invaded Kafr Malik village northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank’s central part, on Thursday, assaulting Palestinian shepherds and stealing hundreds of livestock in a coordinated attack.
Media sources reported that a group of colonizers attacked shepherds near Ein Samia, east of Kafr Malik, and forcibly seized approximately 300 sheep belonging to residents Khaled Ghneimat and Mustafa Rabea’.
During the theft, the colonizers physically assaulted Rabea’, while attempting to defend his flock.
Israeli occupation forces stationed at the Ain Sinya military roadblock, north of Ramallah, obstructed the ambulance transporting Rabea’, denying him urgent medical care.
The colonizers also invaded the village of Taybeh, east of Ramallah, continuing a pattern of escalating violation across the region.
These attacks have intensified in parallel with Israel’s ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, leaving behind casualties, injuries, and widespread property damage.
According to the Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission, July alone witnessed 1,201 documented assaults targeting Palestinians and their property in the West Bank.
Of these, 1,322 were committed by Israeli occupation forces and 466 by colonizers, underscoring the systematic nature of the violence and its devastating toll on civilian life.
Such acts, including theft, physical assault, and obstruction of medical aid, constitute grave violations of international humanitarian law and reflect the deepening impunity enjoyed by colonizers under military protection.
