The Israeli occupation forces assaulted a Palestinian family and arrested foreign peace activists on Sunday in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Information Centre has reported.

Activist Osama Makhamreh reported that the occupation forces stormed Al-Tuwani village in Masafer Yatta, and assaulted the Al-Harini family. He added that the forces arrested foreign peace activists after preventing them from filming and documenting settlers’ violations and attacks against local citizens.

In August 2024, the Israeli army and settlers carried out 1,228 attacks against Palestinians and their property in the occupied West Bank. These attacks included field executions, armed attacks on Palestinian villages, vandalism, bulldozing of land, uprooting of trees, property confiscation, movement restrictions and the building of military checkpoints.
