The assault took place as the Israeli occupation suppressed and attempted to disperse Palestinian protests against the bulldozing of indigenous lands in Al-Naqab through violent means, such as using stun grenades, tear gas, rubber bullets, and water cannons.
The Israeli occupation forces dispersed nonviolent Palestinian protesters in the village of Al-Atrash in the Al-Naqab desert. Dozens of injuries were reported.

It is worth mentioning that the oppression of peaceful protests by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) has left dozens of injuries among Palestinians.

Occupation aims at uprooting Palestinians
Earlier, Al Mayadeen correspondent in occupied Palestine reported that Palestinian youths in Al-Naqab continued to resist Israeli occupation forces' brutal attacks until midnight, most notably in the villages of Tel Al-Sabaa and Shaqib Al-Salam.
Palestinian youths confronted the Israeli assaults and retaliated against the aggression by trying to storm the occupation police station in the area.
Al Mayadeen correspondent reported Thursday that the Israeli occupation suppressed and attempted to disperse Palestinian protests against the bulldozing of indigenous lands in Al-Naqab through violent means, such as using stun grenades, tear gas, rubber bullets, and water cannons.
Protests in Al-Naqab were renewed on the evening of Wednesday after Israeli bulldozers started destroying infrastructure earlier in the day. Israeli machines bulldozed lands belonging to the Al-Atrash family, near the village of Saawa in Al-Naqab.
The destruction took place under the massive protection of Israeli occupation forces. The atmosphere was tense as attacks and prolonged campaigns of arrests swept the region: 46 people were arrested in two days only.
The Israeli occupation's machinery had broken into Saawa village and bulldozed part of its lands in preparation for a takeover after Palestinians confronted them.
