RAMALLAH, April 15, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists on Wednesday evening went on a rampage against Palestinian civilians on the outskirts of Birzeit and Jifna towns, north of Ramallah, according to local sources.

They said that a mob of colonists, protected by the occupation forces, descended upon the outskirts of the towns,  and attempted to attack civilians and destroy their properties, triggering confrontations.

During the raid, the assailants opened fire intensively.

Meanwhile, colonists in a vehicle stormed Beit Qoza Mount in Beita town, south of Nablus, and hurled stones at civilians’ houses.

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.
