Press Release

Sharek Youth Forum strongly condemns the ongoing attacks carried out by settlers against the Palestinian Youth Village.

During a visit by the Forum’s team to the site today, a series of repeated acts of vandalism and destruction were documented. Settlers removed and stole several doors, smashed and damaged items inside the facilities, and deliberately caused damage to the village’s property.

The team recorded these violations as part of the continued attacks targeting the Youth Village, in what appears to be a clear attempt to undermine this youth civic space, which serves as a platform for volunteerism, community initiatives, and the empowerment of Palestinian youth.

Sharek Youth Forum affirms that it will continue to document these attacks and pursue them with the relevant authorities, calling for the necessary protection of the Youth Village and an end to the repeated violations targeting civic and youth spaces in Palestine.

It is worth noting that this incident constitutes the 61st documented attack against the Youth Village since the beginning of these assaults.
