Settlers intensified assaults on Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank over the past 24 hours, targeting farmers, olive harvesters, and agricultural property, Shehab Wire reported. The attacks coincided with the establishment of a new settler outpost in the territory.
The latest surge marks a continuing pattern of settler violence against Palestinians working their land during the olive harvest season, a period when confrontations between settlers and farmers typically peak.
