Assault on two women and the arrest of two brothers during a raid on a house in Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalq

Two women were injured this Monday afternoon as a result of an attack by occupation soldiers in the village of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya, and two brothers were arrested during the same raid.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces stormed the home of the Jumaa family in the northern part of the village and physically assaulted Mrs. Fadwa Jumaa and her son’s wife, Sirin Jumaa, before proceeding to arrest the brothers Qusai Jumaa and Rafat Jumaa.

The assault resulted in the two women sustaining bruises and varying injuries, and they were transferred to the hospital for treatment, where their conditions were described as moderate.

The raid on the home coincided with incursions by groups of settlers into the northern area of the village, under the protection of occupation soldiers.

Sources indicated that dozens of settlers were near the agricultural lands of the citizens, and military vehicles and jeeps of the Israeli army were spread around the area, causing concern among the residents for fear of being subjected to attacks or being prevented from accessing their lands.

During the incursions, several surrounding homes, including the Jumaa family home, were also stormed before the occupation forces withdrew from the area.
