Illegal paramilitary colonizers assaulted and injured many Palestinians and attacked cars, on Monday evening and Tuesday morning, near Ramallah and Nablus in the occupied West Bank’s central and northern parts.
Medica sources said the colonizers hurled, on Monday evening, rocks at several Palestinian cars at the Salman Al-Farisi Junction and Huwwara Street, south of Nablus.
They added that the attack caused damage to several Palestinian cars and that the locals had to flee the area to avoid further violations.
On Monday evening, the colonizers assaulted several Palestinians, wounding seven, in Deir Dibwan town, east of Ramallah.
The colonizers gathered in the area, assaulted the residents, and hurled stones at them, causing seven injuries.
The wounded Palestinians were moved to the Deir Dibwan Medical Center, suffering various cuts and bruises.
The colonizers also hurled stones at a Palestinian ambulance, trying to reach wounded residents, causing damage.
On Monday night, extremist paramilitary Israeli settlers installed caravans and other structures on Palestinian lands in Bani Na’im town, located east of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank’s southern part.
Earlier Monday, Illegal Israeli colonizers injured three Palestinian citizens and carried out a series of attacks against Palestinian-owned property, in various regions of the occupied West Bank.
It is worth noting that there are currently over 700,000 Israeli colonizers living in illegal West Bank colonies, including in and around occupied East Jerusalem.
The establishment of these colonizers violates international humanitarian law, which prohibits an occupying power from relocating its own citizens to the occupied territory or making permanent changes to the land unless it is necessary for military reasons, or the benefit of the local population.
The colonies, however, are Jewish-only, surrounded by fences and buffer zones, in addition to segregated settler-only roads that also result in further illegal annexation of Palestinian lands.
B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, has emphasized this violation of international law.
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.”
