Illegal Israeli colonizers carried out, on Sunday, several attacks against Palestinians and their property in the governorates of Tulkarem, Tubas, Jericho, and Hebron, in the occupied West Bank.
In the northern Jordan Valley, illegal Israeli colonizers fenced off a dirt road used by Palestinian communities in the northern Jordan Valley and set fire to lands east of Tubas, in the northeastern part of the West Bank.
According to Motaz Basharat, the official documenting settlement activities in Tubas, a group of settlers set up a fence, on Sunday afternoon, blocking off the dirt road leading to the homes of Palestinian citizens in Nab’ Ghazal in the northern Jordan Valley.
Media sources added that Israeli settlers set fire to mountainous land in Khirbet Yarza, east of Tubas, in the northeastern part of the West Bank.
It is important to mention that recently in the northern Jordan Valley, fourteen Palestinian families were forced to leave their homes as a result of harassment and attacks by Israeli colonizers.
Meanwhile, in the southern West Bank, Israeli colonizers attacked Palestinian-owned homes in the city of Hebron, and others uprooted at least 20 olive seedlings in the hamlet of Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
Media sources said that illegal settlers attacked citizens’ homes in the Jaber and Al-Hussein neighborhoods in the Old City of Hebron.
Sources added that Israeli colonizers from the illegal “Susya” settlement, located on stolen Palestinian land in Masafer Yatta, uprooted, on Saturday night, twenty olive seedlings from the land owned by the citizen, Khader Attia Musaaf, in the Umm Nir area in Masafer Yatta.
Palestine TV published a video showing a large plume of black smoke over the area of the Ramin Plains, east of Tulkarem in the northwestern part of the West Bank.
Quds News Network confirmed that illegal Israeli colonizers set fire to Palestinian-owned agricultural lands near the village of Ramin, east of Tulkarem; no injuries were reported.

In related news, Israeli occupation authorities forced a Palestinian community to self-demolish a solar cell room, northwest of Jericho in the northern Jordan Valley.
According to Hassan Mleihat, the general supervisor of the Al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, occupation authorities forced residents of the Arab al-Mleihat community to demolish a solar cell room.
Mleihat added that the citizens were forced to demolish the solar cell which supplies the area with electricity, to avoid paying excessive fines if the authorities carried out the demolition themselves.
