A 17-year-old Palestinian was injured and bruised on Wednesday after Israeli settlers attacked him with beatings in the town of Beta, south of Nablus, during an olive harvest. Palestinian Red Crescent Society sources reported that their teams treated the teen's injuries. Local sources told WAFA news agency that settlers attacked farmers, leading to the boy's injury. In the town of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, settlers also attacked olive harvesters on Wednesday morning in the northeastern part of the town, attempting to prevent them from continuing their work amidst provocative behavior. Local sources stated that residents confronted the settlers and forced them to leave the area towards a settlement outpost established in the town's plain. These sources noted that settlers established the outpost late last year, and Israeli army bulldozers later created a settlement road connecting it to the settlement of Shilo, built on the town's land, after uprooting over 2,000 olive trees. In a separate incident, Israeli forces arrested two young men from Tulkarm city and the town of Allar, north of the governorate, on Wednesday. Local sources reported the arrest of Amjad Mustafa Taha from his home in Allar and Anas Al-Sheikh Hussein from the southern neighborhood of Tulkarm. Forces also raided the homes of Abdullah Abu Qayyeh and his son Bassam in Izbet Shufah, south of Tulkarm, conducting extensive searches and damaging property, though no arrests were reported there. Additionally, east of Ramallah on Wednesday morning, Israeli forces detained a citizen, confiscated his vehicle, and stole his olive harvest. Local sources reported that an army force held the man in the "Abu Sharif" area, located between the towns of Dier Dibwan and Burqa, subjected him to abuse, and then seized his car and the olives he possessed.
