HEBRON, October 27, 2025 (WAFA) – Armed Israeli colonists on Monday attacked a Palestinian’s house in Wadi Ijheish hamlet, southeast of As-Samu‘ town, south of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that armed colonists, protected by the occupation forces, descended upon Mahmoud Ad-Daghamin’s house, smashing the doors, vandalizing his vehicle, and killing some of his sheep.

The assailants fired volleys of tear gas canisters towards the house, causing the owner’s five children to suffocate.

The casualties were rushed to Yatta Government Hospital, and their conditions were described as light to moderate.

Colonists’ violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.

Colonists’ violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, and attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.

Approximately 1 million Israeli colonists are living in colonies in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in violation of international law.

Since October 2023, colonists have carried out 7,154 assaults against defenseless Palestinian civilians and their property in the occupied West Bank, killing 34, according to the statistics of the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission.
