NABLUS, Thursday, October 7, 2021 (WAFA) – Dozens of Israeli settlers today attacked Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest in the town of Burin, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, according to a local official.

Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors Israeli settlement activities in the north of the West Bank, said some 60 settlers attacked the olive harvesters in an area south of Burin.

One of the farmers said the settlers, who came from the illegal Yitzhar settlement, attacked his family and other farmers while they were harvesting their olive crops.

He said Israel soldiers, who were in the area, did not attempt to stop the settlers and would only intervene to protect the settlers if the farmers attempt to kick them out of their lands.
