Israeli Settlers Attack Beita, Masafer Yatta, and Deir Abu Mish'al, Injuring Palestinians

Israeli settlers carried out attacks in the occupied West Bank that left Palestinians wounded, including a Monday evening incident south of Nablus in which two Palestinians were injured after settlers stormed Beita town and assaulted Palestinians, according to WAFA as cited by SANA.

In a separate Saturday incident, Anadolu Ajansı reported that three Palestinians, including a child, were wounded in two separate attacks by Israeli settlers, with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society saying a man was injured after being violently beaten by settlers in the Masafer Yatta area south of Hebron.

Anadolu Ajansı also described Israeli soldiers assaulting a Palestinian man near Nablus in footage relayed by local media, and said the video appeared to show one soldier kicking the man and breaking the vehicle’s window with his weapon.

In the village of Deir Abu Mish'al northwest of Ramallah, WAFA reported that four Palestinians sustained injuries due to an attack by Israeli colonists at Al-Qara'na hill, south of the village, where colonists had erected a tent.

WAFA added that Israeli occupation forces stormed the village around Friday prayers to prevent villagers from heading to the hill to protest the installation of the colonial tent.

Anadolu Ajansı quoted Amin Abu Alia, head of the local council in al-Mughayyir northeast of Ramallah, saying, “The situation is grave. Shooting is still ongoing on the south side of the village.”

In the same Anadolu Ajansı report, Abu Alia said the two injured included “a child and a young man shot in the back and in critical condition,” tying the injuries to the ongoing shooting.

WAFA, meanwhile, reported that Jamil Mousa, head of the village council, said armed Israeli colonists attacked villagers at Al-Qara'na hill at the same spot where colonists had pitched a tent.

WAFA stated that the attack injured four villagers, including “one seriously,” and described how dozens of villagers dismantled the tent earlier that day, triggering confrontations with colonists and Israeli soldiers.

The Anadolu Ajansı account also said the Palestinian Red Crescent Society added that Israeli army forces blocked access to its medical teams as they tried to provide aid to the injured.

Anadolu Ajansı linked the reported West Bank violence to the Gaza war, saying violence has intensified since the Gaza war began in October 2023.

The Anadolu Ajansı report cited official Palestinian data that these acts of violence have left 1,116 dead and about 11,500 wounded, and added that nearly 22,000 people have been arrested across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

In the WAFA account of Deir Abu Mish'al, the immediate trigger was villagers dismantling a tent set up by colonists to serve as a nucleus of a new colonial outpost, which WAFA said led to clashes with colonists and Israeli soldiers.

WAFA also said Israeli occupation forces stormed the village around Friday prayers to prevent villagers from going up the hill to protest the installation of the colonial tent, framing the confrontation as tied to the contested outpost.

Across the incidents described by SANA and Anadolu Ajansı, the pattern of attacks and injuries in the West Bank—such as Beita town south of Nablus and al-Mughayyir northeast of Ramallah—underscored how the reported violence continued alongside the Gaza war timeline.
