The West Bank.. Settlers assault a Palestinian and steal 300 sheep in Ramallah.

In a new incident of settler attacks, a Palestinian shepherd was assaulted by a group of Israeli settlers in the town of Kafr Malik, east of Ramallah. The settlers attacked him physically, resulting in bruises and injuries that required him to be taken to the hospital.

The citizen Khaled Ghra, who was assaulted, confirmed that the settlers stole his flock of 300 sheep before withdrawing from the area. This incident is not the first of its kind, as settler attacks on Palestinian shepherds are recurring attempts to pressure them and drive them off their land.

According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, about 1,201 attacks carried out by the occupation army and settlers against citizens and their properties were recorded during the past month of July, including 466 attacks by settlers. These figures reflect the escalation of violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

While the attacks continue in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip is witnessing a genocide by the occupation army, with at least 1,016 Palestinians killed and around 7,000 others injured, in addition to the arrest of more than 18,500 Palestinians. These numbers indicate the extent of suffering experienced by Palestinians under occupation.

Since October 7, 2023, Gaza has been subjected to a campaign of genocide that includes killing, starvation, and destruction, amid the international community's disregard for repeated calls to stop these violations. The genocide has resulted in a staggering number of martyrs and injured, most of whom are children and women.

The occupying state continues to refuse to withdraw from Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, reflecting its unwillingness to achieve a just and comprehensive peace that guarantees the rights of Palestinians to establish their independent state.
