HEBRON, June 27, 2025 (WAFA) – Armed Israeli colonists on Friday demolished an agricultural structure, bulldozed land, and attacked homes and agricultural fields belonging to Palestinian residents in the southern Hebron area, according to local sources.
Osama Makhmara, a local anti-settlement activist, told WAFA that a group of armed colonists from the illegal settlement of Otniel used a bulldozer to demolish a 50-square-meter agricultural shack in the Khillet al-Farra area west of Yatta, which belonged to a local resident. They also razed the surrounding farmland.
In the Khillet al-Hummus area, southeast of Yatta, colonists assaulted the home of resident Mohammad Abdullah Obaid, smashing windows and looting furniture, equipment, and mobile phones belonging to his wife and son in an attempt to prevent them from documenting the attack.
Following the raid, Israeli forces detained Obaid for several hours and subjected him to interrogation.
They also smashed the windows of a sanitary unit and released their cattle into residents’ fields and around their homes, resulting in the uprooting and destruction of numerous fruit-bearing grapevines and other trees, as well as the complete devastation of the irrigation network.
