BETHLEHEM, July 15, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli forces forced  on Wednesday several Palestinians to leave their farmland at gunpoint in the town of al-Khader, south of Bethlehem.

Mahmoud Abdullah Issa told WAFA that a group of Israeli colonists stormed land belonging to him, his brother Ahmed, and his cousin Omar Daoud in the al-Karami area, south of the town, while they were working there alongside international activists.

He added that the colonists attempted to attack them, but they resisted before the occupation forces intervened and expelled them from the land under the threat of weapons.

Issa noted that this was not the first such attack, as they had previously been subjected to similar assaults and repeatedly prevented from accessing their land.
