On Thursday morning, illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers invaded Arab Al-Mleihat Bedouin community, northwest of Jericho in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank.
Hasan Mleihat, the supervisor of the Al-Baidar Organization for Defending Bedouin Rights, said many paramilitary colonizers stormed the community and started walking between the residents homes.
Mleihat added that the colonizers, accompanied by Israeli soldiers, brought their livestock to graze in the community.
The attack is part of ongoing Israeli violations against the Palestinians in various communities in Jericho, as well as various parts of the occupied West Bank, as part of constant violations aimed at terrorizing the locals to force them to leave to construct and expand the illegal colonies.
On Wednesday evening, three Palestinians were killed, and seven others were injured, during an attack by illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers against the town of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that soldiers and colonizers killed three young men and wounded seven others during a large-scale settler attack against the town of Kafr Malik.
The Shireen Observatory identified the slain Palestinians as, Mershid Nawaf Hamayel, 35, Lotfi Sabry Ba’erat, 18, and Mohammad Maher An-Naji.
On Wednesday, Israeli occupation authorities issued a decision to illegally annex privately owned Palestinian lands in the town of Hizma, northeast of the occupied Palestinian capital, Jerusalem, in the West Bank.
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”.
