Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out a series of attacks on Monday targeting Palestinian communities in several districts of the occupied West Bank, destroying agricultural land, cutting trees, burning structures, and assaulting civilians under the full protection of the occupation army.
In the Nablus district, in northern West Bank, colonizers expanded the illegal colony outpost known as “Qamas,” located between the towns of Osarin and Beita, by adding new structures and extending their control over surrounding Palestinian land. The expansion comes amid a continuous campaign to seize hilltops and farmland in the area.
Also, several colonizers infiltrated the ‘Asira ash‑Shamaliya, north of Nablus, and stole a car belonging to Mohammad Mustafa Abu Taleb, on the road connecting the towns of ‘Asira ash‑Shamaliya and Yaseed.
South of Tulkarem, in northwestern West Bank, occupation forces invaded the village of Jabara, bulldozed agricultural land, uprooted trees, and demolished several greenhouses belonging to local farmers.
Residents reported that the destruction targeted productive farmland that constitutes a primary source of income for families in the village.
In the Ramallah district, in the central West Bank, colonizers cut dozens of olive trees in the town of Taybeh and stormed the Bedouin community of Abu Faza’ al‑Ka’abna, where they terrorized children on their way to school.
In the town of Sinjil, colonizers invaded the northern entrance for the second consecutive day, performed religious rituals, and prevented farmers from reaching their land.
Colonizers also set fire to agricultural fields in the al‑Mughayyer plain northeast of Ramallah, while occupation forces opened live fire toward Palestinian youths who gathered near the burning fields and fired illumination rounds over the area.
In the Christian village of Taybeh, near Ramallah, an illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizer stood at the entrance of the village, intimidating schoolchildren and obstructing their path in front of a family home.
The children remained too frightened to leave until a local man arrived and escorted them safely to the bus.
In the Salfit district, also in the central West Bank, colonizers cut one hundred and fifty fruit‑bearing trees in the village of Yasuf.
The attack targeted the “an‑Nasba” area and included the destruction of olive, almond, peach, and grape trees belonging to residents Attallah Yassin, Anwar Ayoub, and Wafaa Yassin.
Local sources reported that the assault is part of a growing pattern of colonizer attacks on Palestinian land near illegal colonies and outposts in the governorate.
In Bethlehem, colonizers stormed the village of Abu Njeim using four-wheelers, roamed through residential neighborhoods, and provoked residents with loud noise and reckless driving.
In the Hebron district, in the southern West Bank, paramilitary colonizers, accompanied by occupation soldiers, burned a sheep barn and a traditional clay oven belonging to resident Riyad Yousef Shannaran in the Wadi al‑Rakhim area. Shannaran sustained burns while attempting to extinguish the fire.
According to the Wall and Colonization Resistance Commission, colonizer attacks, carried out with the support of the occupation army, have resulted in the uprooting, destruction, or poisoning of 4,414 olive trees in recent months.
The documented violations include 2,169 trees in Hebron, 1,170 in Ramallah and al‑Bireh, 740 in Nablus, 200 in Jerusalem, and 135 in Bethlehem.
These attacks come amid a sharp escalation in colonizer violence across the West Bank, where Palestinian communities continue to face systematic assaults on their land, property, and livelihoods under the protection of the occupation forces.
