Three Palestinians wounded in settler attacks across West Bank
Three Palestinians were wounded in attacks by Israeli settlers in different parts of the West Bank. The Palestinian Commission Against the Wall and Settlements recorded 13 attacks and violations by the army and settlers on the same day.
Attacks on Palestinians caused injuries around Hebron and Bethlehem in the southern West Bank. Three Palestinians were wounded in incidents carried out by Israeli settlers in different areas.
Two Palestinians wounded in Masafer Yatta
Human rights activist Osama Muhamareh said settlers attacked the home of Abdulmuhsin Rashid in Khirbet al-Nabi, in the Masafer Yatta area south of Hebron. The attackers also beat family members inside the house.
Two people suffered fractures and various injuries in the incident. The wounded were taken to Yatta Government Hospital for treatment.
The Misri family, which was harvesting olives east of Yatta, was also targeted in a separate attack. The attackers, identified as coming from the Susiya settlement, intervened against family members.
Beşşar Halil al-Misri, a 60-year-old member of the family, was injured after being beaten and taken to Yatta Hospital. The attackers took the olives collected by the family.
Knife attack reported in al-Rashaida village
A Palestinian youth was also stabbed by settlers in al-Rashaida village, southeast of Bethlehem. No details were provided about the youth's health condition.
Commission records 13 attacks and violations
The Palestinian Commission Against the Wall and Settlements recorded 13 attacks and violations on Tuesday targeting Palestinians, their land and property by the Israeli army and settlers.
The incidents recorded by the commission included attacks on farmers, preventing the olive harvest, taking produce and agricultural equipment, cutting down trees, raiding homes, taking sheep, closing roads and entrances, and expanding a settlement outpost.
The Palestinian al-Baydar Human Rights Organization said settlers took sheep belonging to a Palestinian from the al-Kaabneh community in the town of Rimon, east of Ramallah. The organization said livestock farming is one of the main sources of livelihood for Bedouin families in the area.
Attacks rise during the olive harvest
Attacks on Palestinians and agricultural land increase during the olive harvest season in the West Bank. Targeting farmers, blocking access to fields, taking produce and damaging trees are prominent features of these attacks.
According to official Palestinian figures, around 750,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The settlers are spread across 194 settlements and around 400 settlement outposts.
