Israeli Colonists Assault Jalud Residents, Injuring Three Palestinians South Of Nablus

Three Palestinians were injured on Saturday after being “brutally assaulted by Israeli colonists” in the town of Jalud, south of Nablus, according to WAFA Agency.

WAFA said the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that its crews in Salfit treated three people injured in the colonist attack in Jalud.

The injuries were transferred to a medical center in the nearby town of Qabalan for medical treatment, WAFA added.

The same Jalud incident was also described by الجزيرة نت, which said that “a number of settlers attacked the village of Jalud, south of Nablus, beating residents” and set fire to the village council headquarters.

الجزيرة نت further reported that settlers burned four vehicles in Jalud, and that the Palestinian Red Crescent said its teams treated three injuries from a beating by settlers, including “a young man who sustained a deep head wound.”

Arab News likewise tied the Jalud incident to injuries, saying “three Palestinians were injured after being assaulted by settlers in the town of Jalud, south of Nablus.”

Beyond Jalud, the West Bank accounts in the provided reports describe a broader pattern of settler assaults and army activity across multiple locations.

الجزيرة نت said the attacks were “synchronized with a raid campaign by the Israeli occupation army,” and it described injuries and detentions tied to that campaign.

It reported that settlers also attacked the village of al-Funduqiyah south of Jenin, where settlers burned Palestinian homes and vehicles, and that a Palestinian man was bruised in Sila al-Dahr southwest of Jenin after settlers attacked him as they attempted to burn his house.

The report also said settlers threw rocks at a vehicle in Burqin in the Salfit Governorate, injuring three Palestinians by bruises, “hours after a similar attack on the village of al-Funduqiyah south of Jenin.”

In parallel, the Palestinian Prisoners Information Office said Israeli forces arrested four Palestinians after raiding and searching their homes in the town of Tekoa, southeast of Bethlehem, and it added that forces arrested a 16-year-old boy and beat an elderly man in front of his family after raiding and searching several homes in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron.

The same الجزيرة نت report said Shin Bet and Israeli police announced the capture of a cell of four youths from the city of Umm al-Fahm, “allegedly planning attacks inside the occupied Palestinian territories.”

It also stated that “more than 9,300 Palestinians remain in Israeli prisons, according to Palestinian reports,” and that since October 8, 2023, assaults by the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank have left “1,133 Palestinians dead, about 11,700 injured, and about 22,000 detained.”

Several of the reports tie the Jalud assault to both physical injuries and property damage, including arson and vehicle burning.

WAFA described the incident as an assault by Israeli colonists in Jalud and said PRCS crews in Salfit treated three injured people, before transferring them to a medical center in Qabalan.

الجزيرة نت added that settlers attacked Jalud “beating residents” and “setting fire to the village council headquarters,” while also reporting that settlers burned “four vehicles.”

TRT عربي similarly described the Jalud attack as involving multiple injuries and arson, stating that “the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, in a statement, said its crews treated three injuries from beatings, including a young man with serious head wounds,” and that WAFA said settlers “set fire to the local council headquarters and four vehicles, three of which were completely burned.”

Arab News also described the Jalud incident as an attack on residents in Khirbet Al-Hadidiya and other areas, but it separately confirmed that “three Palestinians were injured after being assaulted by settlers in the town of Jalud, south of Nablus.”

قناة الغد reported that “settlers attacked the town of Jalud, south of Nablus, in a broad assault that targeted several sites within the town and resulted in a house being set on fire.”

The same قناة الغد account said dozens of settlers entered the town “under heavy protection from Israeli forces,” and it described Israeli forces firing “tear gas and sound bombs” at Palestinians who tried to confront the attack and defend their homes.

The provided reports place the Jalud injuries within a wider escalation of settler attacks and Israeli army raids across the occupied West Bank, citing both monthly and longer-term figures.

الجزيرة نت said that “in February alone, settlers carried out 511 assaults in the West Bank,” and during those assaults “seven Palestinians were killed by settler gunfire,” citing data from the Palestinian Authority's Committee to Resist the Wall and Settlements.

It also described the parallel raid campaign as leading to “seven detentions and the assault of an elderly man,” and it tied the arrests to specific towns including Tekoa and Beit Ummar.

TRT عربي and قناة الغد both described a rise in settler attacks, with TRT عربي stating that the Palestinian Committee Against the Wall and Settlements reported “511 attacks in February, resulting in seven Palestinian deaths.”

TRT عربي also framed the ongoing pattern by citing that “Since October 8, 2023, attacks by the Israeli occupation army and settlers in the West Bank have left 1,133 Palestinians dead, about 11,700 injured, and roughly 22,000 arrested.”

قناة الغد added a separate tally of attacks by the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, saying the commission “said that Israeli forces and settlers carried out a total of 1,819 attacks during March, 1,322 by the occupation forces and 497 by settlers.”

It further specified that those attacks were “concentrated mainly in Hebron Governorate with 321 attacks, followed by Nablus with 315, then Ramallah and al-Bireh with 292, and Jerusalem with 203 attacks.”

While the reports focus on the assaults and injuries, they also describe immediate medical and administrative steps that follow the violence, including treatment transfers and the broader reporting of arrests and detentions.

WAFA said the three injured Palestinians from Jalud were transferred to a medical center in Qabalan for medical treatment, after PRCS crews in Salfit treated them.

الجزيرة نت said the Palestinian Red Crescent said its teams treated three injuries from a beating by settlers, including a young man with a deep head wound, and it placed the Jalud assault alongside other injury incidents in Burqin and al-Funduqiyah.

TRT عربي similarly emphasized medical treatment by quoting that PRCS crews treated three injuries from beatings, including “a young man with serious head wounds.”

In parallel, the same الجزيرة نت report described detentions tied to raids, saying the Palestinian Prisoners Information Office said Israeli forces arrested four Palestinians after raiding and searching their homes in Tekoa and that they arrested a 16-year-old boy and beat an elderly man in front of his family in Beit Ummar.

It also reported that Shin Bet and Israeli police announced the capture of a cell of four youths from Umm al-Fahm, “allegedly planning attacks inside the occupied Palestinian territories.”

The accounts also include calls for protection and an end to attacks, with Arab News saying residents of villages, hamlets, and Bedouin communities in Masafer Yatta and the town of Sa’ir called on local and international organizations “to protect them and stop the attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against residents, herders, their land, homes, and property.”
