Six Palestinians were injured on Saturday evening in two attacks carried out by Israeli settlers in the central and southern West Bank, according to government media and eyewitnesses.

The official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, reported that settlers “attacked the town of Kobar, northwest of the city of Ramallah (central), and injured two citizens.”

It added that “settlers attacked citizens in the town and severely beat citizens Adnan Hassan Rashid and Musa Shalalda, causing them injuries and bruises.”

In the southern West Bank, a Palestinian family was attacked by settlers while cultivating their land in the town of Sa’ir, north of the city of Hebron. Palestinian Shadi Tarwa said, “I was on my land, weeding and plowing, when a group of about 10 settlers attacked my vehicle and smashed its windows near the Jouret al-Khayl area, northeast of Sa’ir.”

He added to Anadolu Agency, “The settlers then attacked us and assaulted me, my wife, my son’s wife, and my children with fists and clubs, causing us head injuries and bruises.”
He added, “Four members of his family were taken to the Hebron Governmental Hospital to receive treatment for head injuries and obtain the necessary medical imaging.”

In the town of Sa’ir, settlers also blocked a street frequented by Palestinians with stones.

Palestinian activists posted photos of the settlers blocking the road on social media.

In parallel with the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli army and settlers have escalated their attacks in the West Bank, resulting in the deaths of more than 958 Palestinians, the injury of nearly 7,000, and the arrest of 16,400, according to Palestinian data. With full American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 168,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
