SALFIT, March 19, 2025 (WAFA) - On Wednesday, colonists set fire to Bedouin tents located in the Wadi al-Matwi area, which connects the city of Salfit and the town of Bruqin.

Local sources reported that a group of colonists attacked the Bedouin community, setting fire to their tents and vandalizing their property.

Earlier, the colonists assaulted the tent residents and sprayed them with pepper spray.

These violations come as the occupation forces and colonists continue to pave a new colonial road leading to the new colonial outpost built on the lands of the village of Farkha, southwest of Salfit.

In this context, the head of the Farkha village council, Mustafa Hammad, told WAFA that the colonists have begun laying power lines and rehabilitating the road leading to the new colonial outpost built on the village's lands.

They have also bulldozed large areas of citizens' land in the Wadi al-Matwi area to connect the Ariel settlement and the al-Ras settlement, built on the lands of the city of Salfit, to the new colonial outpost.
