Colonists steal tent during an attack on Masafer Yatta area

Israeli colonists stole on Friday a Palestinian-owned residential tent during an attack on the areas of al-Fakhit and al-Halawa in Musaber Yatta south of Hebron.

Local sources told WAFA that several colonists stole a tent and furniture belonging to one of the residents during an attack on the al-Fakhit and al-Halawa areas in Musaber Yatta, which was followed by a raid into the Al-Fakhit mixed school.

Activist Osama Makhamra told WAFA that colonists’ attacks and assaults have increased against Masafer Yatta, especially against the al-Halawa area, where they had set up two tents and a sheep farm days earlier, noting that colonists had taken control of a water well belonging to another resident near the said area.

Colonists have escalated their attacks against Palestinians in Yatta, attacking citizens’ homes, livestock barns, sheepherders and farmers, in an attempt to forcibly evict them from the area.
