An illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizer attacked dozens of Palestinian children on Thursday evening while they were training at the village playground in Shuqba, west of Ramallah in the central West Bank, before several colonizers invaded the area and set fire to multiple cars.
Khaled Motawe’, the media officer of the Shuqba Village Council, stated that a colonizer from the illegal outpost built on the village’s northern lands stormed the playground, assaulting the children with stones and sticks and chasing them with his vehicle, injuring the coach, Yousef Al‑Nasri, with a direct stone strike.
He added that the attack occurred under the protection of Israeli occupation soldiers, who fired large quantities of tear‑gas canisters at residents rushing to protect the children.
Shortly afterward, additional colonizers invaded the village and set several Palestinian vehicles on fire, before residents rushed to extinguish the flames.
In related news, Israeli colonizers invaded Al‑Khan Al‑Ahmar village, east of occupied Jerusalem, and brought their livestock to graze on Palestinian lands.
