Israeli colonists this evening attacked Palestinians and their properties and stole a sum of money in the town of Qarawet Bani Hasan, west of Salfit, according to local sources.

Colonists, backed by Israeli forces, attacked the defenseless Palestinian residents in the said town with gunfire, stole a sum of money from one of the residents, and destroyed several vehicles and a monument of a slain Palestinian killed by Israel.

Israeli forces did nothing to stop the attack but rather joined in, attacking residents with live fire and tear gas canisters.

No injuries were reported in the attack.

In the meantime, a group of armed colonists, under the protection of Israeli forces, attacked Palestinian farmers and shepherds in Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron, and forced them to leave their land.

Israeli soldiers forced farmers and shepherds to leave their lands and allowed colonists to graze their sheep there.
