Settlers carried out attacks targeting Palestinian homes, vehicles, and residents in two areas of the West Bank, continuing a pattern of assaults on civilians and their property. In the Wadi al-Rakheem area of Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, settlers hurled stones and paint-filled balls at a home belonging to the Youssef Shenaran family. This incident occurred amid severe movement restrictions the family has faced for weeks.
In a separate event, settlers attacked the village of Attara, north of Ramallah, damaging homes and vehicles and assaulting residents. Details regarding the extent of the damage or any injuries were not immediately available.
Masafer Yatta has been the site of frequent settler attacks in recent months, including stone-throwing, property damage, road blockades, and disruptions to electricity and essential facilities. Last September, a home in Wadi al-Rakheem was stoned, and other areas in Masafer Yatta saw property damage, including the theft of an electricity cable and the installation of a gate on a road used by residents, hindering their movement.
The livelihoods of Masafer Yatta residents depend heavily on animal husbandry and agriculture. Attacks on homes, facilities, and roads, coupled with movement restrictions, exacerbate their economic hardships and impede their ability to access necessities and conduct daily activities.
