On Sunday evening, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked a Palestinian home and stole nine sheep in Khirbat Al-Himma community in the Northern Plains of the Jordan Valley of the occupied West Bank.
The colonizers invaded the community before attacking the home of Mahmoud Awwad and assaulting him.
The paramilitary colonizers also stole nine sheep from Awwad before returning to their nearby illegal outpost.
Media sources said dozens of colonizers and Israeli soldiers invaded various areas in the Jordan Valley and opened fire at the Palestinians and their dwellings.
It is worth mentioning that the colonizers have escalated their violations against the Palestinians and their property across the occupied West Bank, especially the Northern Plains.
In related news, the colonizers hurled stones at many Palestinian cars near Ein Ayyoub Junction, between Ras Karkar and Kharbatha Bani Hareth, west of the central West Bank city of Ramallah.
The colonizers also hurled stones at Palestinian cars near the military roadblock at the entrance of Deir Ballout town, west of Salfit in the central West Bank.
In related news, Israeli soldiers abducted overnight and on Sunday morning, more than sixteen Palestinians, and caused serious damage to homes and property, in several parts of the occupied West Bank, bringing the number of abducted Palestinians in the West Bank alone since October 7, 2023, to more than 10.000.
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.”
