HEBRON, June 29, 2025 (WAFA) – An elderly man and a youth were injured on Sunday evening during an attack by a group of extremist settlers targeting residents and their homes in the village of Susiya, located in the Masafer Yatta area south of Hebron Governorate, according to a local activist.

Human rights activist Osama Makhamreh reported that a group of armed colonists, under the protection of Israeli forces, attacked residents’ homes in the village—part of the Masafer Yatta communities—and physically assaulted locals, causing bruises and injuries to several people.

Sources from the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that a 17-year-old boy sustained multiple bruises and injuries after being physically assaulted by the colonists. He was transferred to a hospital for medical treatment.

An elderly man was also injured after being beaten during the attack and was taken by ambulance crews to Yatta Governmental Hospital for medical care.

The villages and communities of Masafer Yatta have been subjected to repeated colonists’ attacks as part of a policy of forced displacement practiced by the Israeli occupation authorities against Palestinian residents in the area.
