Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers, backed by Israeli occupation forces, carried out multiple coordinated attacks on Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, injuring several residents, including children, and damaging property, while Israeli forces abducted two brothers during one of the assaults.
Several Palestinians suffered bruises and pepper gas inhalation after colonizers, accompanied by Israeli forces, invaded the Huwwara area east of Yatta in Hebron, southern West Bank, and assaulted residents and their property.
Local media activist Osama Makhamra said the colonizers forced their livestock into Palestinian fields in Masafer Yatta, then attacked residents with clubs and pepper spray, causing injuries among adults and children. Palestinian Red Crescent Society medics said they provided treatment at the scene.
Makhamra added that Israeli forces present to secure the colonizers’ assault abducted two brothers, Mustafa, and Ismael Al Jabour.
Residents of the Um al‑Kheir Palestinian community in Masafer Yatta also intercepted an assault by a group of illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers targeting their homes, lands, and livestock.
In Deir Ammar village west of Ramallah in the central West Bank, colonizers invaded an under construction home and vandalized building materials before withdrawing. Residents reported structural damage and scattered construction supplies.
Colonizers also attacked Palestinian vehicles with stones on the main road between Rammun and Deir Dibwan east of Ramallah, damaging several cars as they passed through the area.
In Qaryout south of Nablus in the northern West Bank, colonizers invaded the eastern area of the town, seized agricultural lands, barns, and greenhouses, and prevented residents from approaching.
During the invasion, the colonizers raised Israeli flags at the site in an attempt to establish a new colonial outpost.
Later in the evening, colonizers invaded the outskirts of Jammala village west of Ramallah, roaming the area before withdrawing. No injuries were reported.
Residents noted that colonizer groups continue invading villages and towns across the Ramallah and Al Bireh district under the protection of Israeli forces.
In another incident, Israeli colonizers attacked a Palestinian driver near al-Mughayyir northeast of Ramallah, smashing the windows of his vehicle as he traveled along the Marj Si’a road. Residents confronted the colonizers, who fled toward nearby colonial outposts.
Israeli forces continued closing the Marj Si’a agricultural area between al-Mughayyir and Abu Falah northeast of Ramallah, preventing residents from entering or leaving.
Local sources said the army has maintained the closure while colonizer attacks persist, obstructing farmers’ access to their lands and restricting movement between the two villages.
In Jenin, in the northern West Bank, a group of illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers invaded Palestinian lands in the village of Al‑Mughayyir, east of the city, and installed a colonial outpost after forcing Palestinian residents to leave the area.
The village is subject to frequent assaults and violations by colonizers, who repeatedly attack residents while they work on their lands and target their agricultural tractors and vehicles.
The colonizers expanded their attacks to surrounding Palestinian communities, orchards, and farmlands, amid constant efforts to force Palestinians out and replace them with colonies and grazing outposts.

These incidents represent some of the documented invasions, assaults, land seizures, and movement restrictions carried out by illegal Israeli colonizers across the occupied West Bank today.
Additional violations continue to occur but cannot be fully documented due to the ongoing nature of these attacks and the restrictions imposed on Palestinian movement and access.
