"The Wall Authority": 14 Attacks by Settlers Since Saturday Morning

Ramallah - Afaq News - The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission stated that settlers carried out at least 14 attacks in four governorates in the West Bank by Saturday evening, according to initial reports based on field notifications.

The attacks were distributed as follows: 6 in Ramallah and Al-Bireh, 3 in Hebron, 3 in Nablus, and 2 in Bethlehem.

The commission explained that the attacks in Ramallah and Al-Bireh included shooting at citizens' homes in the village of Al-Mughayer, attacking citizens with pepper spray, and damaging an ambulance, in addition to attacking the villages of Burqa, Abu Falah, and Umm Safa, attempting to set a house on fire, assaulting a citizen, and stealing olive harvests, as well as attempting to steal about 300 heads of sheep and a horse from the Al-Hayan area in Deir Debwan.

In Hebron, settlers cut the main water line supplying the village of Adqiqa in the Yatta plain, depriving about 700 citizens of water, and burned an agricultural room while writing provocative slogans east of Yatta. They also assaulted the family of citizen Fadl Al-Hadar in Khillat Al-Hums, forcing them to move their tent set up on the ruins of their demolished house in search of a safer place.

In Nablus, settlers roamed between citizens' homes in Eastern Luban, vandalized agricultural greenhouses, and stole iron arches and equipment from the lands of the village of Naqoura, continuing to harass citizens in Beit Imrin.

In Bethlehem, settlers chased shepherds in the Zaatara wilderness, released their livestock onto citizens' lands, and gathered near their homes in the Wadi Abu Njeim area.

The authority confirmed that this outcome reveals that the settlers' assaults fall within the framework of the comprehensive tools of occupation that target the safety of Palestinians, their properties, water sources, and livelihoods, fundamentally aiming to tighten their existence and push them to leave their lands.

The authority concluded that these assaults will not grant their perpetrators any rights to the land, nor will they succeed in uprooting Palestinians from it, indicating that what is required from the international community is to move from condemnation to providing actual protection and accountability, and affirming that the steadfastness of citizens in their lands remains the first line of defense for it.
