Today, Wednesday, settlers attacked homes in the Wadi Abyan area, east of the village of Kisan, southeast of Bethlehem.
According to local sources, a group of settlers attacked the homes of Nassar Rashaida and his sons, stealing their belongings, including solar cells and zinc panels used for covering and protection, before proceeding to destroy and completely destroy the contents of the homes.
Sources indicated that the settlers had threatened the family two days ago with forcible eviction if they did not leave voluntarily, as part of a systematic campaign of intimidation aimed at forcibly displacing the residents from their lands.
Seven Palestinian families, comprising dozens of individuals including women and children, live in the Wadi Ubayyan area. They are frequently subjected to systematic violations and attacks by settlers, aimed at forcibly removing them as part of a broader plan to seize land and expand the surrounding settlements.
He explained that the latest attack comes just days after the displacement of approximately 15 Palestinian families from a nearby area, an escalating move that reflects a systematic policy to empty the area of its original inhabitants.
The sources called on local and international human rights and humanitarian organizations to urgently intervene to protect the population and put an end to the ongoing settler attacks, which are often carried out under the protection of occupation soldiers. They emphasized that the residents' steadfastness and adherence to their lands is the strongest response to attempts at forced displacement.
For months, the Kisan area and its surroundings have witnessed a marked escalation in settler attacks, including the burning of property, roadblocks, assaults on shepherds, and the prevention of residents from accessing their agricultural lands. This has all been met with international silence regarding the daily crimes committed against defenseless Palestinian civilians.
