Israeli colonists severely beat photojournalist while on duty

RAMALLAH, May 27, 2025 (WAFA) – Colonists Tuesday severely beat a photojournalist in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah.

WAFA correspondent reported that the colonists assaulted photojournalist Issam al-Rimawi while he was covering the clashes that erupted in Al-Mughayyir.

A video circulating online shows al-Rimawi moments after he was beaten by the colonists.

He added that ambulance crews transported al-Rimawi to the hospital for treatment.

Colonists had attacked the outskirts of Al-Mughayyir village and attempted to burn their agricultural lands.

Local sources reported that settlers attacked the eastern outskirts of the village and attempted to burn agricultural lands and wheat crops in the Marj Sa'i plain, before residents confronted them and forced them to flee.

It is worth noting that the colonists burned lands this morning between the villages of Al-Mughayyir and Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah, and yesterday, Monday, they burned lands near the neighboring village of Kafr Malik.

A few days ago, colonists burned an area of ​​more than 200 square meters in the Marj Sa'i plain, between the villages of Al-Mughayyir and Abu Falah, under the protection of the occupation forces.

Settlers regularly attack the plain, burning and vandalizing citizens' lands and property. Their attacks are steadily escalating, especially after they recently established a colonial outpost in the area.

Last month, settlers carried out 231 acts of vandalism and theft of Palestinian property, affecting vast areas of land. Settler attacks also resulted in the uprooting of 1,168 olive trees, distributed across the governorates of Ramallah with 530 trees, Nablus with 300, and Salfit 298.
