Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers, backed by Israeli soldiers, carried out a series of coordinated attacks on Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank on Friday, injuring residents and medics, invading public and residential areas, and assaulting ambulances responding to the wounded.
In Hebron in the southern West Bank, a group of illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers stormed the town of Ethna west of the city and attacked a Palestinian home.
The homeowner said the colonizers invaded the vicinity of his property, caused significant damage to the house and his vehicle, and assaulted several residents, including women.
In the southern West Bank, colonizers invaded the Solomon’s Pools area between the town of Al‑Khader and the village of Artas south of Bethlehem.
Local sources said colonizers, escorted by Israeli soldiers, entered the historic site, gathered around the second and third pools, and performed religious rituals.
The site has faced escalating violations in recent months, including closures, assaults on visiting families, and the forced removal of Palestinian civilians.
In a separate incident, colonizers invaded the Khalayel al‑Louz area southeast of Bethlehem and attacked a water tanker belonging to citizen Nasser Khalil Khalawi.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) confirmed that two paramedics were injured after colonizers pepper‑sprayed them and pelted their ambulance with stones.
Khalayel al‑Louz has been subjected to repeated attacks by colonizers and Israeli soldiers, including assaults on homes and vehicles and live‑fire incidents.
Later in the evening, colonizers attacked the village of Abu Njeim southeast of Bethlehem, firing live rounds at Palestinian vehicles and injuring a resident with live ammunition.
When an ambulance arrived to treat the wounded man, colonizers smashed its windows and pepper‑sprayed the medical crew, causing severe breathing difficulties.
PRCS emergency director Abdul‑Halim Ja’afra said two paramedics were injured and the ambulance was rendered completely inoperable. Colonizers then blocked the village’s main road and assaulted Civil Defense crews attempting to reach the area.
In the central West Bank, colonizers attacked the Ka’abna Bedouin community east of Taybeh northeast of Ramallah, breaking into the home of citizen Nayef Ka’abna and bringing their livestock to graze in the area.
Local sources said colonizers assaulted residents and international volunteers, injuring a female volunteer with bruises to the face and head.
The attack followed a violent assault the previous evening in which colonizers beat members of the Ka’abna family, injuring three, while Israeli soldiers abducted Suleiman Ka’abna. The family has endured daily colonizer attacks for nearly three years, with a sharp escalation in recent months.
In the northern Jordan Valley, colonizers attacked homes in Khirbet al‑Hamma, terrorizing residents and threatening to forcibly expel them.
Local sources said colonizers have repeatedly invaded the community, intimidated families, and seized the area’s only water spring months ago, fencing it off and cutting residents off from their primary source of water for daily needs and livestock.
In the Jenin district in the northern West Bank, colonizers conducted provocative tours in several areas, including the Jenin–Nablus Road near the Arraba junction, where they blocked traffic for a period of time.
Colonizers also invaded the village of Jalboun east of Jenin and spread along the eastern bypass road, chasing Palestinian vehicles and disrupting movement. At dawn, colonizers broke into the Burqin municipal park, continuing a pattern of repeated incursions into public spaces across the district.
Also in the northern West Bank, a Palestinian man was injured and then abducted during a joint invasion by Israeli soldiers and colonizers into the eastern area of Beit Furik east of Nablus.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the man, in his forties, was beaten by Israeli soldiers before being taken away, and the organization is coordinating with the International Committee of the Red Cross to determine his condition.
Soldiers and colonizers also smashed surveillance cameras around homes and attacked several houses. Residents confronted the colonizers, while soldiers prevented ambulances from reaching the injured.
In a separate attack east of Nablus, three Palestinians were injured when colonizers assaulted them in the eastern area of Beit Dajan. Local sources said the victims suffered bruises after being beaten by colonizers.
These are some of the documented and verified colonizer attacks reported by field sources, medical teams, and local councils at the time of publication.
Many additional assaults, invasions, and threats go unreported due to the continuous nature of the attacks, closures, and the army’s protection of colonizer groups across the occupied West Bank.
