A Palestinian woman lost her unborn baby after suffering severe shock following an attack by illegal Israeli settlers on her family’s home in the southern occupied West Bank, while Palestinians were also injured in separate attacks by illegal settlers and Israeli military raids across the occupied territory.
Osama Makhamra, an activist documenting Israeli violations in the Masafer Yatta area south of Hebron, said on Tuesday Ruqayya Rabai suffered severe shock and fear after illegal Israeli settlers attacked her home in the village of Al-Tuwani on Sunday.
Illegal Israeli settlers hurled stones at the house before setting it on fire, Makhamra said, adding they also torched the village mosque and several homes.
Rabai was taken to the hospital after the attack, but her condition deteriorated on Tuesday.
After being readmitted, doctors confirmed she had lost her unborn baby as a result of the shock and fear she suffered during the assault, according to Makhamra.
Elsewhere, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa said illegal Israeli settlers attacked the outskirts and main entrance of the town of Turmus Ayya, east of Ramallah, setting agricultural land on fire and preventing residents from extinguishing the flames.
The official Voice of Palestine radio said illegal Israeli settlers also burned property belonging to a Palestinian farmer in the town of Al-Zawiya, west of Salfit.
The Al-Baydar Human Rights Organization said illegal Israeli settlers stormed the outskirts of the village of Jalud, southeast of Nablus, and set agricultural land ablaze before residents confronted them, leaving several Palestinians injured.
