HEBRON, July 11, 2025 (WAFA) – Two Palestinians were injured on Friday after Israeli colonists attacked homes in the village of Susya, located in Masafer Yatta region, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank, according to local sources.
Jihad Nawajaa, head of the Susya Village Council, said that a group of colonists stormed the village, physically assaulted residents, and pelted them with stones. As a result, two locals sustained injuries and bruises and were transported by the Palestinian Red Crescent to Yatta Governmental Hospital for treatment.
Colonist violence in Masafer Yatta has been ongoing, with repeated attacks targeting Palestinian residents and their properties across multiple villages and hamlets. These assaults are carried out under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, who often stand by or actively support the attackers.
Masafer Yatta, a rural area in the southern West Bank, is home to nearly 19 Palestinian hamlets threatened by displacement due to Israeli settlement expansion and military training zones. Despite international condemnation, Israeli attacks on civilians and efforts to forcibly remove them from their lands have continued unabated.
