NABLUS, April 1, 2025, (WAFA) - Three Palestinians were injured this evening in a terror attack carried out by Israeli colonists in the village of Duma, located south of Nablus. The assault, which occurred under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, also resulted in the burning of two livestock farms and three vehicles.

Suleiman Dawabsheh, the head of Duma's village council, informed WAFA that around 300 Israeli colonists stormed the western side of the village, setting fire to livestock farms and damaging vehicles. 

Meanwhile, local residents managed to push back the attackers, leading to confrontations in which three local Palestinian residents were shot with live and rubber-coated steel bullets.

According to Dawabsheh, volunteer teams from the Palestinian Civil Defense successfully extinguished the fires. He also reported that the attack coincided with the Israeli military and police establishing a checkpoint at the village's entrance.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that the injuries sustained by the victims included a 35-year-old man shot with live ammunition in his foot, a 45-year-old man who was injured by shrapnel in his eye and hand, and a 17-year-old child who was hit in the eye with a rubber-coated bullet. All three victims were transferred to a hospital for medical treatment.

This incident marks the latest in a series of violent attacks carried out by Israeli colonists in the occupied West Bank, often with the backing of Israeli occupation forces.
