Settlers' violence: Attacks on shepherds, uprooting of olive trees, land confiscation
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israeli settlers on Saturday attacked Palestinian shepherds, uprooted olive trees in Masafer Yatta, and constructed a mobile house to confiscate Palestinian land in southern Nablus, according to WAFA.
According to Fu'ad Omour, coordinator for the Committees of Protection and Resilience in Masafer Yatta, said settlers from the illegal settlement of Ma'un attacked Palestinian shepherds and prevented them from sheep-herding.
He added that settlers from the illegal settlements of Susya and Mitzpe Yair in eastern Masafer Yatta chopped off and damaged hundreds of olive trees, belonging to Barakat Murr.
In Nablus, the Palestinian official responsible for settlements in the North of the West Bank, Ghassan Daghlas, said Israeli settlers constructed a mobile house in the village of Beita.
The house has been constructed near the illegal settlement of 777, aiming at expanding it.
A 15-year-old Palestinian was shot and killed by Israeli forces during a military raid in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus on Thursday, marking the fifth Palestinian killed by Israeli forces and settlers in three days amid a surge in attacks.
Three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike targeting a vehicle in central Gaza on Thursday, including two civil defense workers, in another breach of the so-called ceasefire agreement amid continued daily attacks.
Israeli soldiers have been looting large amounts of civilian property from homes and businesses in southern Lebanon during the recent assault, according to a Haaretz report. The looting is widespread among Israeli forces, with similar incidents previously reported in Syria, Gaza, and during the previous assault in Lebanon.
