Israeli occupation soldiers and settler gangs carried out at least 20 incidents of assault and violation against Palestinian farmers, their lands, and crops within 12 hours on Monday, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission. The attacks were distributed across the governorates of Ramallah and al-Bireh, Nablus, Salfit, Hebron, Jenin, and Qalqilya, and included attacking olive pickers and forcing them to leave their lands, assault by beating, arrest, shooting, theft of crops and equipment, and arson of property. At least five citizens were injured, including three after settlers chased their vehicle and pelted it with stones in the "al-Manqa'" area of Far'ah village. Three vehicles were burned, and settlers attempted to burn two homes in Turmus Ayya. At least ten Palestinians were arrested, including two children while picking olives in Kafr Qaddum. The commission confirmed that the repeated attacks aim to undermine farmers' ability to continue working and accessing land, and called for stopping the attacks and providing protection.
