Israeli colonists poison livestock in Hebron, causing deaths

HEBRON, September 22, 2024 (WAFA) – In a troubling incident today, Israeli colonists poisoned livestock belonging to local residents east of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, resulting in the deaths of five sheep.

Local resident Abdul Karim Al-Jabari told WAFA that the poisoning occurred after colonists attacked homes in the Jabara area late last night, resulting in the poisoning and subsequent death of five sheep.

In August alone, Israeli colonists conducted 206 acts of vandalism and theft targeting Palestinian properties. These actions included the theft of 509 sheep, the confiscation of nine vehicles and tractors, and the uprooting of 477 trees, among which were 397 olive trees.

These incidents are part of an ongoing pattern of violence by Israeli colonists aimed at Palestinian farmers, exerting pressure to displace them from their lands.
