HEBRON, September 29, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists on Tuesday evening beat up a minor in the Huwara area, east of Yatta, in the southern Hebron governorate, according to a media activist.

Osama Makhamra said that colonists descended upon a Palestinian’s dwelling in the area and assaulted a minor, inflicting bruises across his body.

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.
