Israeli illegal paramilitary colonizers carried out a series of coordinated attacks across the occupied West Bank on Friday, targeting communities in Nablus in the northern West Bank, Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, and Ramallah in the central West Bank, burning vehicles and agricultural structures, assaulting civilians, and obstructing access to essential infrastructure.
In the town of ‘Asira al-Qibliya, south of Nablus, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers invaded the southern area of the community and set fire to the front section of a vehicle belonging to resident Ahmad Hamdan Ahmad, causing significant damage.
The head of the village council, Hafeth Saleh, stated that the colonizers also attempted to burn a storage room and agricultural equipment owned by citizen Hassan ‘Assaira.
He added that the attackers targeted several homes located near a colonial herding outpost built on land classified as Area B and approached the main water reservoir that supplies the town, creating an obstruction that prevented maintenance crews from reaching the site.
In the city of Beit Sahour, east of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, Israeli colonizers assaulted a Palestinian civilian after detaining him in the area known as ‘Osh Ghorab.
Media sources reported that the colonizers held citizen Mohammad Qadri and beat him before withdrawing from the area.
In a separate incident, many colonizers invaded the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah in the central West Bank, where they detained a group of young men near the village park under the protection of Israeli occupation forces. Local sources stated that the colonizers seized two vehicles before leaving the village.
Later in the evening, colonizers invaded the village of Abu Falah, north of Ramallah, and set fire to an agricultural room (a small farm structure) belonging to resident Mohammad Omar Rizq.
As villagers rushed to extinguish the flames and repel the attack, Israeli occupation forces stormed the area and opened fire toward the residents. Local sources said the targeted site lies adjacent to a colonial outpost that had been rebuilt the previous day after being dismantled by Israeli authorities.
These incidents reflect a continued pattern of coordinated settler violence across the occupied West Bank, often carried out under direct military protection, and concentrated around expanding colonial outposts.
