NABLUS, June 17, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists on Wednesday evening assaulted and injured a Palestinian in the village of Beit Imerin, northwest of Nablus, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

PRCS sources reported that colonists attacked a 43-year-old man in the village, inflicting bruises across his body.

Earlier this evening, colonists assaulted some of the villagers, causing bruises to one of 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.
