BETHLEHEM, August 31, 2025 (WAFA) – Colonists attacked Palestinian homes in the village of Kisan, east of Bethlehem, on Sunday, seizing their contents after forcing the residents out of the village, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.
Ahmad Ghazal, Secretary of the Fatah Movement in Kisan, told a WAFA correspondent that a group of colonists attacked Palestinian homes in the Sahba area, adjacent to the Umm Zutina community in the village, forcibly evicting residents before seizing their contents.
Ghazal added that this attack is part of a series of ongoing violations by colonists in an attempt to empty the land of its indigenous inhabitants and establish colonial pastoral outposts in their place. He pointed out that the Israeli occupation forces provided full protection to the attackers.
He explained that the Kisan desert has been subjected to repeated attacks by colonists in recent weeks, leading to the displacement of dozens of families from their lands and the demolition of their homes in the Wadi Ubayyan and Deir Alla areas, as well as the seizure of thousands of dunums of agricultural and pastoral land, in preparation for the establishment of new colonial outposts, amid a clear absence of the role of human rights and international institutions in confronting these violations.
