Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers set fire at dawn today to an agricultural room in the village of Abu Falah, north of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank’s central part.
Local sources reported that the colonizers invaded the area, torched the structure and scrawled racist slogans on its walls.
They added that, once the residents noticed them, the colonizers fled to their nearby colonialist outpost.
Earlier Friday, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers have established a new outpost near the Bedouin community of al-Hathroura in Khan al-Ahmar, east of occupied Jerusalem, in the West Bank.
According to the Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission, Israeli colonizers carried out 766 attacks in October alone, concentrated in the governorates of Ramallah and al-Bireh, Nablus, and Hebron.
This latest arson underscores the systematic campaign designed to uproot Palestinians from their land, destroy livelihoods, and entrench illegal colonial expansion in flagrant violation of international law.
On Wednesday evening, Israeli occupation forces invaded the al-Hathroura community, storming several tents and abducting three Palestinian residents from the Arab al-Ara’ra.
Just days earlier, a group of colonizers, accompanied by Israeli occupation forces, demolished several homes in the community, assaulted residents and abducted three young Palestinian men.
The Bedouin community has faced repeated attacks aimed at forcing them to leave, clearing the way for full control of their land.
On Thursday evening, Israeli colonizers carried out a number of attacks against Palestinian citizens in the governorates of Qalqilia, Nablus, and Ramallah.
All of Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention in addition to various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.
Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits collective punishment and acts of terror against civilian populations.
Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory”.
Articles 53 and 147, prohibit the destruction of civilian property and classify pillage as a war crime.
