HEBRON, March 30, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists Sunday evening assaulted Palestinians and torched a barn to the south of Ad-Dhahiriya city, southwest of the southern occupied West Bank city of Hebron, according to a resident.
Tamer Abu Sharkh said that a group of colonists descended upon their dwellings of Khirbet Umm as-Simsim and attacked his family members.
He added that the assailants torched a livestock barn and attempted to set sheep on fire before withdrawing from the area.
Colonists’ violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.
Colonists’ violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.
Approximately 1 million Israeli colonists are living in colonies in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in violation of international law.
