BETHLEHEM, October 19, 2025 (WAFA) – Colonists today stormed Palestinian agricultural lands in the Khalayil al-Lawz area south of Bethlehem and grazed their livestock near residents’ homes, according to security sources.

Sources told WAFA that dozens of colonists from a nearby illegal outpost sneaked onto Palestinian lands in the Khalail Al-Lawz area and grazed their livestock on almond and olive orchards, causing damage to the crops.

The Khalail Al-Lawz area has been repeatedly subjected to colonists’ attacks, including incursions into agricultural lands, the cutting down of trees, and the prevention of farmers from accessing their fields, in an attempt to seize the area and expand illegal colonial settlements south of Bethlehem.
