NABLUS, June 12, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists on Friday attacked Palestinian farmers in the al-Masoudieh area of Burqa village, northwest of Nablus, according to a local activist.

Dhiyab Hajji said that armed colonists assaulted farmers in the area, attempting to forcibly expel them.

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.
