On Tuesday, groups of paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked a car repair facility and caused significant damage, in addition to blocking a main road and bulldozing lands, in the Ramallah governorate, located in the central West Bank.
In one incident, colonizers invaded a car repair facility near the village of Um Safa, northwest of Ramallah, breaking a window to gain entry.
Marwan Sabah, the mayor of Um Safa, reported that the colonizers vandalized the facility, stealing tools, electric equipment, and other supplies.
Additionally, colonizers blocked the main entrance to Deir Jarir village, east of Ramallah, using a bulldozer to obstruct the road connecting Deir Jarir and Silwad.
They also began bulldozing and uprooting Palestinian-owned lands west of Al-‘Asour Mountain.
These lands belong to residents of Deir Jarir and Silwad, marking another escalation in violations in the area.
In a related incident, colonizers invaded the town of Kifl Hares, northwest of Salfit in the central West Bank, where they destroyed the car of Mahmoud Bouziyya.
The town has experienced frequent invasions and attacks by colonizers, who have targeted homes, shops, vehicles, and other property, in addition to committing numerous assaults against residents.
On Monday, a group of illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers stormed the Arab Al-Mleihat Bedouin community, northwest of Jericho in the occupied West Bank’s northeastern part.
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”.
