Israeli settlers clash with Palestinian farmers across multiple West Bank villages
Settlers attacked olive harvesters in several West Bank towns, stole produce and equipment, and cut power to a home, while Israeli forces raided Deir Dibwan with tear gas.
Palestinian sources reported a wave of settler violence across the occupied West Bank on Sunday. In the Nablus area, settlers attacked olive pickers in Bazariya, Beita, Qusra, Qabalan, Burqa and Madama, looting olives and harvesting equipment. Near Beita, they cut the power pole supplying Muntaser Hamayel’s home, leaving it without electricity.
In Masafer Yatta, settlers chased the al-Jabour family from their fields in al-Khalidiya, stealing olives and tools. Israeli forces later raided Deir Dibwan east of Ramallah, using tear gas before pulling back and taking positions along the road to Burqa. The operations caused no reported injuries.
