SALFIT, November, 21, 2024 (WAFA) – Colonists today destroyed a Palestinian vehicle belonging to a local citizen from the town of Yasuf, east of Salfit.

The head of the Yasuf village council, Wael Abu Madi, said that a group of Israeli colonists attacked the vehicle of local resident Mujahid Radi Atiani while he was picking olives in the Al-Mahawar area.

The olive harvest season in the West Bank this year is witnessing repeated attacks by colonists and occupation forces, which have reached the point of killing, burning and cutting down olive trees, stealing the crop, and preventing farmers from reaching their lands.

According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, since the beginning of the olive season this year, and until October 29, the occupation forces and colonists have carried out 239 attacks against olive pickers.

These attacks resulted in the killing of a 60-years-old Hanan Abdul Rahman Abu from the village of Faqqu’a, northeast of Jenin, and the injury of more than 50 others.

Such attacks also resulted in massive destruction of proprieties and the burning and uprooting of hundreds of olive trees.
