Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out widespread attacks across several districts of the occupied West Bank, Sunday, burning two mosques, torching a home, injuring workers, destroying property, and establishing new colonial outposts under the protection of Israeli forces.
In Tulkarem, in the northwestern West Bank, colonizers invaded the village of Kufur Qaddum and burned parts of the local mosque, damaging carpets, religious books, and interior walls. They also spray‑painted racist slogans on the exterior.
Locals rushed to the mosque and managed to extinguish the fire before it spread to other parts of the holy site.
In Nablus, in the northern West Bank, colonizers burned a mosque under construction in the town of Qusra, setting fire to wooden supports, construction materials, and tools.
They also torched parts of the home of Ubada Mleitat in the town of Beit Furik east of Nablus before residents managed to extinguish the flames. Racist slogans calling for revenge against Palestinians were left on the walls of both sites.
In Ramallah, in the central West Bank, several workers were injured when colonizers attacked a stone‑cutting factory in the Ein Samia area east of Kafr Malek.
The colonizers assaulted the workers, causing bruises and other injuries, and set fire to heavy machinery inside the facility.
The colonizers also invaded the town of Surra, southwest of Nablus, forcing vehicles to stop and harassing several Palestinians.
In the village of Umm Safa northwest of Ramallah, colonizers invaded the Wadi az‑Zeitoun area south of the village and erected tents on Palestinian land measuring roughly 4,000 dunams.
Colonizers also attacked the village of Beitillu west of Ramallah, burning several Palestinian vehicles during an overnight assault.
In addition, colonizers established a new colonial outpost on Palestinian land in the Tal al‑‘Asour area east of Ramallah. Local sources said colonizers erected a large tent and brought water tanks to the site in an effort to cement a new outpost.
Tal al‑‘Asour, located between al‑Mughayyer and Deir Jarir, has seen continuous colonizer attacks and land seizures.
This outpost is the third established today, following one built earlier on land belonging to Deir Istiya north of Salfit in the central West Bank, and another on land belonging to Umm Safa northwest of Ramallah.
In Silwad town, northeast of Ramallah, the colonizers attacked car, causing damage to at least one truck, shattering its windows while driving on a side road.
In Salfit, in the central West Bank, colonizers established another new outpost on land belonging to the town of Deir Istiya. Activist Nazmi Salman said colonizers gathered in the ath‑Thohour area north of the town and bulldozed Palestinian land to impose a new colonial reality and expand settlement activity.
In Wadi Qana Valley between Salfit and Qalqilia, the colonizers closed a main intersection, preventing Palestinian drivers from entering the area and forcing them to leave.
Furthermore, Israeli paramilitary colonizers and soldiers stopped Palestinian vehicles and searched them while interrogated the residents.
In the northern Jordan Valley, colonizers prevented Palestinian farmers from grazing their livestock in the pastures surrounding colonizer tents in Khirbet Samra, forcing them to leave the area.
The colonizers chased the shepherds, honking their vehicle’s horn and ordering the Palestinians to leave the area.
In Hebron, in the southern West Bank, armed colonizers invaded the eastern area of the town of Ethna in the western area of the governorate, aiming to prevent residents and farmers from reaching the al‑Jalabiya area.
Israeli forces provided full protection for the colonizers and prevented residents, university students, and others from accessing the bypass road through the closed gate, firing live rounds and stun grenades toward them.
Soldiers also prevented public transportation vehicles from stopping near the closed gate for the third consecutive year. On Saturday, Israeli forces closed the dirt road adjacent to the bypass road, which residents have been forced to use due to the ongoing closure imposed on the town.
|Serious Military, Colonizer Escalation Across West Bank|
In Bethlehem, in the southern West Bank, colonizers destroyed a water network in the village of al‑Maniya and attacked residents attempting to repair it, throwing stun grenades at them.
The Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission has reported that colonizer violations escalated sharply during the first half of 2026, including the establishment of 42 new colonial outposts—most of them grazing outposts—four of which were built in areas classified as (B).
These outposts were distributed across several districts: 13 in Hebron in the southern West Bank, 9 in Ramallah in the central West Bank, 8 in Nablus in the northern West Bank, and 4 in Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, among others.
These are some of the documented colonizer attacks, arson assaults, land seizures, and outpost‑building operations carried out across the occupied West Bank; the continuous nature of the violations means not all incidents can be fully covered.
