NABLUS, September 25, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists on Friday assaulted several young men in Beitua town, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to local sources.

They said that colonists broke into al-Arma area of the town and intercepted a Palestinian-licensed vehicle carrying the young men before assaulting 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.
