On Monday evening, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked a Palestinian family and unleashed their dogs on them near Al-Awja Spring, north of Jericho in the occupied northeastern part of the West Bank.
Resident Mohammad Yousef Ali Adawi told the WAFA News Agency that the colonizers hurled stones at his family of five near the spring.
He added that the colonizers also unleashed their dogs on the family before stealing a tent and picnic supplies they carried.
Adawi stated that he and his family managed to escape unharmed, and had to leave their belongings behind.
It is worth mentioning that the colonizers have seriously escalated their crimes and violations against the Palestinians in the area and are constantly trying to control the spring to prevent the Palestinians from reaching it as a means to force the residents, especially the Bedouin communities in the area, to leave after losing their water resources and lands.
Late Monday night, illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers killed a Palestinian man, Khalil Salem Khalil Ziyada, 40, and moderately injured three in Wad Rahhal village, south of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Furthermore, Israeli forces shot and killed Eyad Ayed Abed Najjar, 46, in the village of Janba, in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank.
On Monday afternoon and at night, the Israeli army continued the bombing and shelling of various parts of the devastated Gaza Strip, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians across the destroyed coastal enclave.
Israel has now killed at least 40,435 and injured more than 93,534, mostly children, women, and elderly, in addition to the thousands of missing Palestinians, mostly under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings, on destroyed streets and in bombarded alleys across the Gaza Strip, since October 7, 2023.
It is worth mentioning that Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said that in the period between October 7, 2023, and August 21, 2024, Israel killed 48,380 Palestinians, (43,592 civilians) including 16,008 children, and 10,351 women, 522 healthcare professionals, 301civil defense workers, and 171 journalists, and injured 92,320.
