HEBRON, November 19, 2025 (WAFA) — A Palestinian man, his wife, and their son were injured on Wednesday evening after being assaulted by Israeli colonists northeast of Hebron, according to local sources.

Faisal al-Qawasmi, a Palestinian citizen, told WAFA correspondent that a group of colonists attacked his father, his mother, and his brother while they were on their land adjacent to Route 60.

The attack caused head injuries and multiple bruises across their bodies. They were transferred to hospital for treatment.

In recent years, human rights groups and international organizations have documented a sharp rise in attacks by armed colonists against Palestinian residents, farmland, homes, and vehicles. 

These assaults often take place under the protection of Israeli forces, who frequently restrict Palestinian movement while colonists carry out attacks.

Hebron and its surrounding villages are among the areas most affected, with communities facing repeated assaults, land takeovers, and harassment intended to force them away from their property. 

Local residents say the violence has escalated further since late 2023, with colonists acting with greater impunity and expanding outposts deeper into Palestinian land.
