Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out a series of coordinated attacks on Monday evening across several areas Nablus, in the northern West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, injuring Palestinians, blocking roads, and attempting to provoke confrontations under the protection of Israeli forces.
In Beita, south of Nablus, two Palestinians were injured after colonizers invaded Sbeih Mountain and assaulted them with batons and fists.
Media sources said the two men suffered bruises and required medical attention following the attack, which took place near the site of repeated colonizer incursions over the past several years.
In a separate incident east of Nablus, colonizers attacked the Abu Zeitoun area of Beit Dajan and blocked a road with stones, disrupting movement for residents.
Imagine being denied access to your own water—while others turn it into a tourist attraction.

Earlier in the day, colonizers stormed the village of Douma, south of Nablus, releasing their sheep between Palestinian homes in Area B in what residents described as a deliberate provocation.
They also closed a road inside the village with stones, according to village council head Suleiman Dawabsha, who said the attacks were part of a pattern of escalating settler violence targeting rural communities.
East of occupied Jerusalem, a group of colonizers invaded the Bedouin community of Khan al‑Ahmar on Monday evening, attempting to provoke residents and threatening to assault them.
Bedouin communities in the area, particularly Khan al‑Ahmar, have faced repeated attacks by colonizers under the protection of Israeli forces, in what residents and rights groups describe as efforts to forcibly displace them to make way for settlement expansion.

Inside the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, colonizers installed a new iron gate between the historic Cotton Merchants’ Market (Souq al‑Qattanin) and Bab al‑Hadid.
The Jerusalem Governorate said the gate was placed near the Old City Youth Association, adjacent to the Hosh al‑Zourba property that colonizers had previously seized. Residents described the installation as an attempt to alter the historic character of the area and restrict Palestinian movement.
The new gate has already narrowed access for Palestinians, while colonizers performed religious rituals around the site in what residents say is part of a broader effort to impose new facts on the ground. Local sources said residents approached Israeli police demanding the gate’s removal, but police denied involvement and took no action.
Residents warned that the installation is part of a systematic policy aimed at seizing public space in the Old City, tightening restrictions on Palestinian movement, and undermining the area’s historic and cultural identity.
On Sunday night,, Israeli occupation forces and paramilitary colonizers invaded the Khirbet Shu’ab al-Batem Bedouin community in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank’s southern part, storming several Palestinian homes, assaulting residents, and deliberately smashing and vandalizing household belongings.
