BETHLEHEM, June 6, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces, on Saturday, and colonists assaulted two Palestinian women from the town of al-Khader, south of Bethlehem.
Mahmoud Abdullah Issa, a member of al-Khader Municipal Council, told WAFA that Israeli soldiers, accompanied by colonists, attacked two women while they were picking grapevine leaves in the Qit'at al-Nays area.
He said the soldiers and colonists beat the two women, tied their hands, blindfolded them, and took them to a remote area near al-Minya, southeast of Bethlehem, where they were later released.
Israeli occupation forces and colonists have recently escalated their attacks against farmers and residents of al-Khader, preventing them from accessing their lands, demolishing agricultural structures, and seizing large areas of land.
