HEBRON, Saturday, April 27, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists toady violently attacked a Palestinian man, causing him bruises, in Masafer Yatta, south of the occupied West bank city of Hebron.

Sources said that scores of Israeli colonists wearing Israeli occupation army uniforms physically assaulted and beat up the 20-year-old Omar Musa Muhammad while he was herding sheep in the Wadi Ma'in area in Masafer Yatta, causing him bruises.

Farmers in the Masafer Yatta area are subjected to frequent attacks by Israeli colonists and the army with the aim of forcing them out of their land for the benefit of colonial expansion.

Furthermore, a group of Israeli colonists  also attacked a number of sheep herders in the Khal Al-Dabaa area in Masafer Yatta and forced them to leave the area.

Israeli colonist violence against Palestinians and their property is commonplace in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.
