Wad al-Abyad (East al-Maniyah), Bethlehem District: Israeli settlers torched a barn and vandalized water tanks

On Saturday, 7 December 2024, around 12:30 P.M., four settlers arrived in the Wad al-Abeid community and surrounded the home of Ahmad Tarawah (40), while he and his family were inside. The family members immediately called the Palestinian DCO, which informed the Israeli DCO. Ahmad Tarawah saw two of the settlers slashing two water tanks, then all four went to a structure the family uses as an animal feed barn, stayed there for 15 minutes, then set it on fire and left. A military jeep and a police car arrived only after the settler left. The police officers inspected the damage, took pictures of it, and suggested the family file a complaint at the police station. Tarawah filed a complaint at the police station in the settlement of Beitar Illit the next day.
