Settlers attacked residents of Masafer Yatta in Hebron, injuring and detaining Palestinians while stealing olive harvests, Shehab Wire reported. The assault occurred during the olive-picking season in the Palestinian farming community south of Hebron.
The attack resulted in injuries and arrests among villagers attempting to harvest their crops. Israeli settlers have repeatedly targeted Palestinian agricultural areas in the South Hebron Hills, a region where Palestinians face restrictions on construction and land use.
