HEBRON, August 26, 2025 (WAFA) – A number of Palestinian civilians and international solidarity activists were injured this evening when Israeli colonists attacked them in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its medical teams dealt with four injuries, including three female activists and a young Palestinian man, who sustained bruises and wounds after being assaulted. They were transferred to hospital for treatment.

Activist Osama Makhmara reported that colonists stormed Khirbet al-Qawawis in Masafer Yatta, where they attacked residents and international activists who were present in solidarity. He added that the colonists physically assaulted them, leaving several with visible injuries.

Colonists, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, have recently escalated their attacks on residents and their properties across Masafer Yatta. These assaults, which include physical violence, property damage, and intimidation, are widely seen as part of ongoing efforts to forcibly displace Palestinian families from their homes and lands.
