Israeli occupation forces continued their attacks on Palestinians across the West Bank, raiding the town of Tammun, south of Tubas, on Saturday with several military patrols and searching multiple homes, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Kamal Bani Odeh, director of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society in Tubas, said Israeli forces surrounded a house and ordered a young man to surrender. He added that no information was available on whether anyone had been detained inside the house.

In Areeha, two young men were injured shortly after midnight during an Israeli military raid on the city.

IOF attack olive harvesters, injure journalist

A Palestinian journalist was injured by rubber-coated metal bullets and dozens of others suffered from tear gas inhalation on Saturday morning during an Israeli military raid on the village of Deir Abu Mash'al, northwest of Ramallah, WAFA news agency reported.

According to local sources, Israeli occupation soldiers attacked olive harvesters as they were picking olives and fired tear gas canisters at them in an attempt to force them off their land, causing several to suffer from breathing difficulties.

The sources detailed that Israeli forces shot journalist Issam al-Rimawi in the thigh with a rubber-coated metal bullet while he was covering the events in the village.

Also in Ramallah, Israeli occupation forces prevented Palestinian farmers from accessing their land in the town of Kafr Ni'ma, west of the city, on Saturday morning to harvest olives, forcing them to leave the area.

Settlers too

Israeli settlers, likewise, attacked Palestinian farmers harvesting olives on Saturday morning in the village of Burqa, west of Ramallah, forcing them off their land and preventing them from continuing the harvest, according to WAFA.

Sail Kanaan, head of the Burqa Village Council, told WAFA that a group of settlers raided the Khallat Ali area, located between the village and the nearby town of Deir Dibwan, and assaulted farmers as they harvested their olives. The settlers forced them to leave their land and warned them not to return.

19 settler attacks in one day

According to the latest figures, the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission recorded 19 settler attacks on Friday targeting olive harvesters, farmers, and their property. The attacks included setting fire to a vehicle, uprooting more than 50 olive trees in the town of Qusra, south of Nablus, attacking olive harvesters in several West Bank villages, and opening fire and injuring a farmer in Salfit Governorate.

Attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinian farmers and olive harvesters have been escalating with the start of the olive harvest season across the West Bank. The attacks include physical assaults, restrictions on access to agricultural land, damage to trees, and theft of crops.

The current season has seen a notable rise in these attacks, which have taken on an increasingly organized character and threaten the livelihoods of thousands of Palestinian families.
