HEBERON, September 3, 2025 (WAFA) – The Hebron Municipality condemned on Wednesday Israeli colonists' seizure of a house adjacent to the old municipality building in the heart of the Old City of Hebron, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, and them holding a provocative party in the municipality square.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the municipality considered this crime part of a systematic policy to Judaize the Old City and impose a new reality on the ground by attacking citizens' property and closing main streets in the Al-Zahida and Al-Shalala areas, among others, adding that this is "a flagrant violation of international laws and norms."

The municipality affirmed that it is proceeding with its legal measures to protect the city's cultural and historical heritage, stressing that these practices will not deter the city's residents from clinging to their land and homes. It called on international and human rights organizations to intervene immediately to put an end to these escalating attacks and ensure the protection of the residents of the Old City and their historical properties.

A group of armed colonists, under the protection of occupation forces, stormed the home of the Nasr family in the Old City on Tuesday evening, seizing it and bringing furniture inside.
