On Saturday, a group of illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked a Bedouin village in the al-Farisiya area of the Northern Plains in the occupied West Bank.
Eyewitnesses reported that at least fifteen colonizers invaded the villagers’ dwellings in the Ghazal Spring area of al-Farisiya.
The locals intercepted the assailants as they attempted to assault several residents and steal livestock. The colonizers fled the area after being confronted by the villagers.
The region has been subjected to repeated Israeli violations, particularly during late-night hours. Just a day earlier, colonizers attacked several villagers, injuring one and killing multiple sheep.
In related news, Israeli soldiers abducted Mustafa Jalal Abu ‘Arra, 27, from ‘Aqqaba town, north of Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, while crossing a military roadblock north of Ramallah, in the central West Bank.
On Thursday evening, illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers assaulted a Palestinian in Ein Al-Hilwa, in the Jordan Valley’s northern plains, in the occupied West Bank.
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 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”.
