On Sunday evening, several illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked Palestinians and their property in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank’s southern part, before Israeli soldiers abducted three Palestinians.
Jihad Nawaj’a, the head of Susiya Village Council, stated that the colonizers invaded the Khirbet Asfa community and hurled stones at many Palestinians, their homes, and their livestock.
Nawaj’a added that damage was reported to the home of Nasser Shreiteh and the car of Khalil Nawaj’a.
Following the attack, Israeli soldiers invaded the village, also attacked the Palestinians, and abducted Mohammad Ismael Awad, Mousa Othman Awad, and Mahmoud Rasmi Makhamra.
In related news, the colonizers attacked the nearby community of Khirbet Maghayer Al-Abeed, damaging solar panels and assaulting several residents and their homes.
It is worth mentioning that the paramilitary colonizers recently installed tents on Palestinian lands to establish a new outpost and escalated their violations against many villages in Masafer Yatta to force the Palestinians out.

Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states that the occupying power [Israel] is forbidden from transferring any part of its civilian population onto the land on which it occupies [Palestine].
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 Humanitarian Law.
