BETHLEHEM, July 14, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists attempted to set fire to a Palestinian home in the village of Kisan, east of Bethlehem, on Monday.
Homeowner Ahmad Nassar Rshaydeh told WAFA that a group of colonists from the nearby illegal outpost of Ma’ale Amos attacked his house around 2:00 a.m., smashing one of the windows and hurling a Molotov cocktail into a room that was fortunately unoccupied at the time. The fire was quickly contained before it could spread.
As they fled the scene, colonists reportedly fired live rounds at the house. No injuries were reported.
Rshaydeh noted this was not the first such attack on his home, describing it as part of an ongoing effort to intimidate his family and force them out of the area.
Colonists have recently escalated their attacks on citizens and their property east of Bethlehem, , with incidents including home invasions in al-Minya and Wadi Sa’ir, as well as injuries and the torching of vehicles.
