HEBRON, February 21, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists set fire to a vehicle and vandalized property last night east of the town of Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources. The colonists also scrawled racist and provocative anti-Arab graffiti in the area.

Osama Makhamra, a local media activist, told WAFA that the colonists infiltrated the home of Majed al-Dababsa, a Palestinian resident, in the Abu Shaban area east of Yatta on Thursday night. They torched his vehicle and scrawled racist slogans against Palestinians and Arabs on the walls.

Makhamra added that this region has been subjected to numerous attacks by Israeli colonists and army, including the demolition of several homes and a school, as well as the harassment of shepherds. Crops have also been destroyed.

In a related incident, Makhamra pointed out that today, a group of colonists gathered near the adjacent Carmel settlement, where they blocked the gate leading to the surrounding Palestinian villages and Bedouin communities, preventing locals from passing through.
