An American photojournalist witnessed an assault by masked Israeli settlers on an olive grove in Abu Falah, the occupied West Bank, on Friday, The Guardian reported. At least six people were injured when the settlers descended on the site in a coordinated movement across the area.
The attackers burned cars and trees as part of what appeared to be a deliberate effort to disrupt the annual olive harvest, a critical economic activity for Palestinian communities in the region.
