HEBRON, July 17, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists chased shepherds and attempted to steal their livestock in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, on Thursday.

Media activist Osama Makhamreh said that armed colonists chased the shepherds from pastures in Khirbet al-Fakhit in Masafer Yatta, attempted to steal the livestock, and released hundreds of heads of livestock into fruit trees surrounding the homes of citizens in Khirbet Aqwawis.

He added that the colonists, through pastoral colonialism, are trying to completely control the pastures and water wells in Masafer Yatta, preventing citizens from accessing them.

This is aimed at forcibly displacing residents from their lands for the benefit of colonial expansion.
