On Monday night, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers invaded the Palestinian town of Sebastia and opened fire at Palestinian homes.
The Mayor of Sebastia, Mohammad Azem, said the colonizers came from the illegal Shavei Shomron, built on stolen Palestinian lands near the town.
Azeem added that the colonizers used their government-issued assault rifles to fire live rounds at many homes, causing serious damage.
Besides the recently seriously escalated violations against the Palestinians in the town, Israeli soldiers frequently invade Sebastia to accompany groups of colonialist settlers into the archaeological area.
During these invasions, the soldiers block all Palestinian traffic, frequently storm homes, abduct Palestinians, attack protesters, and remove the Palestinian flag from the archeological area.
