Settler terrorist attacks continued in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, including beating olive pickers on their land, attacking vehicles, blocking roads, and vandalizing agricultural lands, with occupation soldiers present who fired tear gas canisters at farmers. In the village of Sinjil north of Ramallah, settlers vandalized agricultural land belonging to citizen Marouh Abd al-Haq, cutting the fence and destroying the surrounding gates, after having uprooted dozens of trees from the adjacent land. It is noted that settlers have been infiltrating the village from the outpost established on its land about a year ago, attacking it on an almost daily basis and hindering citizens' access to their land. In another incident, settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles before dawn between the village of Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya and the city of Salfit, preventing passage for over two hours while occupation forces stormed the area to protect the settlers. Farmers, a journalist, and a foreign activist were also subjected to settler attacks in several areas.
