RAMALLAH, June 17, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists on Tuesday evening attacked the outskirts of Turmusayya town, northeast of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, according to security sources.

They said that armed colonists, protected by the occupation forces, assaulted the al-Qurneh area on the outskirts of the town, and opened live fire at young men there, but without resulting in any injuries.

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.
