Illegal paramilitary colonizers carried out various assaults and violations across the occupied West Bank on Saturday, injuring multiple Palestinians, abducting several others, and attacking communities from Ramallah in the central West Bank to Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, and the outskirts of occupied Jerusalem, and Jenin in the northern West Bank.
In Umm Safa, northwestern Ramallah, three Palestinians were injured when Israeli soldiers opened fire with rubber‑coated metal bullets after colonizers invaded the outskirts of the village and stole four sheep.
Village Council head Marwan Sabah said residents confronted the colonizers, prompting Israeli forces to invade the area and shoot at civilians. Sabah added that Umm Safa faces an active displacement campaign, with colonial outposts encircling the village and preventing residents from reaching their lands.
In Burqa, east of Ramallah, colonizers closed the village entrance on Saturday evening, blocking traffic in both directions and attempting to assault residents. No injuries were reported.
In Silwad, east of Ramallah, the colonizers attacked Palestinian cars, causing damage, on the road near the illegal Ofra colony, built on stolen Palestinian lands in the town.
In Salfit, in the central West Bank, colonizers attacked several villages and communities in the governorate and closed streets.
In Yarza, Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, seven Palestinians were injured when colonizers invaded the village and attacked residents inspecting homes they were forced to leave months earlier. Two of the injured were transferred to hospital, while Israeli forces detained the remaining wounded residents.
In al‑Mughayyer, northeast of Ramallah, colonizers attacked the western outskirts of the village while Israeli forces simultaneously invaded to provide protection. Israeli soldiers broke into a home, detained several men, and later released them. The village continues to face repeated colonizer assaults and ongoing Israeli military invasions.
In at‑Tibna near Khan al‑Ahmar, east of occupied Jerusalem, two Palestinians were injured and four others abducted when colonizers and Israeli forces jointly attacked the Bedouin community. One colonizer rammed two young men with a motorcycle, causing bruises, while another sprayed pepper gas at residents. Israeli forces then invaded the community and abducted four Palestinians after residents confronted colonizers attempting to steal livestock.
In Khallet al‑Louz, southeast of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, two Palestinians were injured when colonizers sprayed them with pepper gas. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society treated the victims and transferred them to hospital.
In al‑Rashayda, east of Bethlehem, colonizers accompanied by Israeli soldiers attacked shepherds at the village entrance, opened fire at them, and attempted to steal livestock. Residents confronted the attackers and prevented the theft.
In Khallet al‑Hummus, south of Yatta in Hebron in the southern West Bank, colonizers assaulted members of the Obaid al‑Masri family under Israeli military protection, injuring two Palestinians with bruises and causing others to suffer pepper‑gas inhalation. Israeli forces abducted Samir Obaid, who was injured during the attack, along with two international solidarity activists supporting residents in the area.
In Jenin, in the northern West Bank, a group of colonizers invaded the Um at‑Tout village, northeast of Jenin, and roamed its neighborhoods while threatening residents.
In Nablus, also in the northern West Bank, groups of colonizers invaded farmlands and assaulted farmers, preventing them from harvesting their crops, and attacks homes, especially in the towns of Douma, Beit Dajan, Beit Furik, and Salem. Israeli soldiers invaded the attacked communities and fired gas bombs and concussion grenades at the Palestinians.
