Israeli settlers yesterday attacked Palestinian shepherds and homes in the northern area of Al-Buwaib village, northeast of Yatta, in the occupied West Bank, Safa reported.
Al-Baydar Organisation for Defending Bedouin Rights in Targeted Villages stated that a group of settlers chased shepherds in Masafer Yatta, assaulted them and drove their livestock away from grazing areas.
The organisation added that settlers threw stones at Palestinian homes in the village of Al-Tuwani, causing property damage and spreading fear among residents, particularly children.
These attacks are part of escalating settler violence aimed at pressuring Palestinians to leave their lands to facilitate settlement expansion.
Al-Baydar Organisation expressed deep concern over the continued assaults, calling on the international community to take immediate action to stop settler practices and protect Palestinians from the risk of forced displacement.
