HEBRON: Israeli occupation forces detained four Palestinians today in the southern West Bank province of Hebron, following raids on multiple homes where they reportedly ransacked belongings and caused damage.

According to Palestinian security sources, the detentions took place amid raids and searches in the towns of Yatta, Idhna, and Dura.

During these raids, soldiers also supported colonists who, in a separate incident, invaded the Hiribat al-Nabi area of Masafer Yatta region, south of the Hebron province.

Under military protection, these colonists stole 17 sheep from local farmers and transported them to an unknown location. Reports indicate that residents were held at bay while their homes and livestock facilities were vandalized.
