On Friday, Israeli soldiers assaulted a Palestinian citizen, and illegal colonizers assaulted a child and a female international activist in separate incidents in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces assaulted a Palestinian citizen, and injured many others, on Friday morning, following a large invasion by illegal colonizers in the village of Yatma, south of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
Ahmad Abu Snobar, the head of the Yatma village council told the WAFA News Agency that at least three large groups of settlers invaded the village under the protection of the occupation forces.
Abu Snobar added that the colonizers blocked Palestinian citizens from reaching their own lands to harvest olives, and attempted to attack citizens, sparking protests.
He said that occupation soldiers opened fire with live rounds, concussion grenades, and tear gas canisters at citizens, causing several residents to suffer the toxic effects of tear gas inhalation.
Occupation forces also assaulted a Palestinian young man, causing bruises; he was transported to hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, illegal colonizers assaulted a Palestinian child on Friday afternoon, near the village of Deir Istiya, northwest of Salfit in the central part of the occupied West Bank.
Nazmi Al-Salman, a local anti-settlement activist told the WAFA News Agency that a group of Israeli settlers invaded the Wadi Qana area, near the village and assaulted a 15-year-old child while he was on his family’s farm.
Al-Salman added that the colonizers stole an electric generator and destroyed bags of barley and bran belonging to the family.
Furthermore, in the southern West Bank, illegal Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian farmers and international activists who were harvesting olives in the village of Susya in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
According to Jihad al-Nawaj’a, the head of the Susya village council, Israeli settlers assaulted a foreign activist with a stick while she was volunteering to help Palestinians harvest olives in the village of Susya, on Friday.
He added that the young woman refused to enter an Israeli ambulance, before a Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) ambulance transported her to the Abu al-Hussein al-Qasim Hospital in Yatta, suffering bruises from the attack.
