RAMALLAH, July 24, 2025 (WAFA) – A group of Israeli colonists on Thursday morning released their livestock among the homes of Palestinian residents in the village of Shalla al-Auja, north of the occupied West Bank city of Jericho.

The Al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights confirmed that the colonist attacks are part of a series of ongoing provocations aimed at intimidating local residents and imposing colonial control over the area, threatening to forcibly displace the population.

These practices represent a direct violation of the residents' right to live peacefully and securely in their villages and on their land, the organization reported.

It warned that such assaults and violations further exacerbate the social and economic vulnerability of the population.

In a separate incident, colonists carried out an attack on the outskirts of the village of al-Mughayyir, located northeast of the city Ramallah, and attempted to steal livestock owned by local Palestinian residents.

According to local sources, colonists broke into the Marj Sa'i plain and attempted to steal sheep belonging to Anis Abu Aliya. However, villagers confronted the assailants and forced them to withdraw.

The area has been witnessing a surge in attacks carried out by colonists that include setting fire to Palestinian lands and vandalizing their properties, particularly after the establishment of a new illegal outpost nearby.
