BETHLEHEM, December 31, 2025 (WAFA) – An Israeli colonist on Wednesday opened fire at a Palestinian-licensed vehicle in Arab al-Rashayideh, southeast of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that a colonist opened fire at a cargo vehicle, smashing the windshields.

There were no casualties, though.

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.
