BEIT LAHM, November 13, 2026 (WAFA) – Colonists on Friday morning opened fire on Palestinian olive pickers in the village of Abu Njeim, southeast of Bethlehem, local sources told WAFA correspondent.

Sources said that colonists attacked Palestinians while they were picking olives on privately owned land and opened fire at them; however, no injuries were reported.

Israeli forces raided the area in support of the colonists and fired tear gas canisters at residents while they were harvesting olives on their land.

Several residents suffered suffocation from tear gas inhalation before Israeli soldiers forced them at gunpoint to leave the land and barred them from returning.
