Israelis usurped Palestinian lands and attacked Palestinians and their properties in the West Bank

According to the news of the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, Palestinians in the town of Turmusaya in the north of Ramallah and in the village of Deyr Abu Mashal in the northwest were attacked by the Israelis who usurped Palestinian lands.

Turmusaya Local Council member Avad Abu Semra stated that a group of Israelis who usurped Palestinian lands suddenly attacked the houses in the Vadi Ammar and En-Nebaat regions in the east of the town.

Stating that Israeli attackers tried to burn down two houses after setting fire to a vehicle parked in front of the houses, Abu Semra reported that US citizen Muhammed Saket Abu Kuk was hospitalized due to the blows he received to his head.

Abu Semra noted that later Israeli forces came to Turmusaya and removed the Palestinian residents around the attacked houses from the area, but some farmers were still harvesting olives in the region.

The Israelis, who usurped Palestinian lands, also attacked Palestinians in the village of Deir Abu Mashal, northwest of Ramallah.

In the statement made by the Palestinian Red Crescent, it was stated that a Palestinian injured in the attack was transferred to the health center after first aid.

Israeli forces destroyed agricultural lands north of Hebron

On the other hand, Israeli forces destroyed agricultural structures, uprooted more than 300 fruit trees and damaged agricultural lands in the village of Shuyuh al-Arub, located north of the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

Chairman of Shuyuh al-Arub Village Council, Isa Iyad, stated in his statement to the press that Israeli forces started to demolish agricultural areas, water wells and retaining walls in the Al-Kunye region to the west of the village.

Iyad noted that more than 10 decares of land were destroyed, agricultural structures in these areas were destroyed and more than 300 fruit trees were uprooted within the scope of the demolition and "land leveling works" that have been continuing since the morning hours.

There are concerns that 290 decares of land will be usurped by Israel

Stating that the residents of the region are concerned that approximately 290 decares of land in this part of the village will be usurped by Israel if the "works" in question continue, Iyad said that these lands were previously declared "state land" by Israel.

Emphasizing that they have sufficient legal documents showing that the lands are private property, Iyad stated that, as one of the people whose land was destroyed, he applied to the Israeli court with his documents, but to no avail.

Since October 2023, when Israel launched its attack on the Gaza Strip, there has been a significant increase in detentions, raids and attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
