JERUSALEM, February 25, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists on Wednesday evening torched Palestinian-owned agricultural structures in the Ash-Shamis locality, northeast of Jerusalem, according to Al-Baydar Human Rights Organization.
It said that colonists set agricultural structures on fire, resulting in significant material damage.
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.
