On Tuesday, illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers continued their violations against Palestinians and their properties across the occupied West Bank.
The invading colonizers, accompanied by Israeli forces, bulldozed sections of privately owned Palestinian land in the town of Beit Ula, west of Hebron in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
According to local sources, they began leveling land in the Tuwas area before installing a tent at the site to establish an outpost, part of a broader attempt to seize territory for colonial expansion.
Residents of Beit Ula and neighboring areas have faced repeated attacks by colonizers, including land leveling, uprooting of trees, and denial of access to their own property.
Also, a group of paramilitary colonizers stormed the al-Maleh community in the northern Jordan Valley region.
Sources reported that colonizers roamed through various sections of the community in a deliberate attempt to provoke residents. The area has experienced sustained incursions and violations by colonizers in recent days.
Last weekend, armed colonizers assaulted Palestinian homes in the region, terrorizing residents with gunfire, stealing and slaughtering dozens of livestock. The escalation forced two families to flee under duress last Friday.
Colonizers also renewed their assaults in the village of Shallal al-Awja, north of Jericho in the northeastern West Bank, by provocatively moving between residential homes. This pattern has heightened fears of further escalations aimed at undermining Palestinian presence in the area.
Hassan Mleihat, General Coordinator of the Al-Baidar Organization for Defending Bedouin Rights, stated that colonizers routinely drive herds into Palestinian agricultural lands and areas close to residential homes, causing damage to property and sources of livelihood.
He emphasized that these acts form part of a systematic policy designed to push Palestinians off their land.
Mleihat called on the international community and human rights organizations to take urgent action to protect Bedouin and farming communities in the Jordan Valley from the threat of forced displacement.
At dawn on Tuesday, a group of fanatic illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers invaded the village of Beitin, east of Ramallah in the central part of the occupied West Bank, wrote racist graffiti and burned Palestinian cars.
On Monday, the colonizers attacked, invaded, and destroyed Palestinian towns, villages, and farmland, while Israeli troops continued violations throughout the north, south, and central West Bank.
Last Wednesday night, a group of fanatic illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers stormed the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, and set fire to dozens of Palestinian vehicles.
Last Friday, Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out numerous attacks against Palestinians, their homes, and their lands across several areas of the occupied West Bank, killing two Palestinians, including a Palestinian-American, and wounding many others were wounded, in Sinjil town, northwest of 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 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.”
