HEBRON, 30-6-2025 (WAFA) — Colonists Monday set fire to hundreds of dunums of Palestinian-owned agricultural land in the town of Sa’ir northeast of Hebron, and seized around 96 livestock.

Citizen Ahmad Al Shalaldeh told Wafa that dozens of colonists from the illegal colony of “Asfar” stormed the Khirbet Jurat al-Kheil area and set fire to hundreds of dunums of land planted with grapevines, almond and olive trees, and others. The land belongs to several Palestinian families.

The colonists under the protection of Israeli occupation soldiers, also seized 96 livestock owned by a local resident.

Residents of the area reported that colonists, with the support of occupation forces, carry out these attacks as part of a systematic effort to forcibly displace local communities in favor of colonial expansion. They noted that such violations are recurrent, particularly by colonists from the “Asfar” and “Kedumim” colonies, with repeated incidents of livestock theft involving dozens of sheep.

The locals called on human rights organizations to assist them in curbing the attacks carried out by the occupation and its colonists.
