Hebron – Saba:
Israeli settler militias continued their attacks on Palestinian property in the occupied West Bank on Thursday.
A group of armed Israeli settlers bulldozed agricultural land owned by Palestinian citizens in the village of Deir Razeh, south of Hebron, in an effort to expand an illegal outpost established late last year.
According to local sources, the settlers carried out the land clearing under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, threatening residents with weapons as they worked on land previously seized from villagers, as reported by the Palestinian Information Center.
Previously, in late 2024, Israeli bulldozers had razed approximately 400 dunums of Palestinian-owned land in the same area, cutting down dozens of trees, destroying crops, and constructing a 3-kilometer-long road to serve settlers.
In a related incident, settlers stole a tent and agricultural equipment from the northern Jordan Valley. The stolen tent belonged to farmer Fayez Mohammed Abu Mutaweh in the Al-Deir area. They also stole irrigation hoses from the Khirbet Al-Farisiyah area.
Settler attacks in the northern Jordan Valley occur on an almost daily basis and include assaults on Palestinian homes, theft and destruction of property, and attacks on shepherds and their livestock—all with the clear complicity of the Israeli authorities.
