Settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters Friday in Turmusaya, northeast of Ramallah, Shehab Wire reported. The assailants targeted pickers in the al-Naba'at area of the town, assaulting them and setting three vehicles ablaze, according to local sources.
The attack occurred as Palestinians engaged in the annual olive harvest across the West Bank, a period that regularly sees clashes between harvesters and Israeli settlers.
