Three Palestinians were injured on Saturday morning in an attack by settlers in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron. One sustained a live bullet wound to the thigh, while two others were affected by pepper spray, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent. In a separate incident in the village of Abu Falah, north of Ramallah, Israeli forces reportedly fired tear gas canisters at olive harvesters working their land, attempting to force them to leave. Local sources indicated this was an effort to prevent them from continuing to pick olives. Additionally, in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, settlers, protected by Israeli forces, grazed their sheep on agricultural land planted with olive trees in the eastern Al-Mughayyir plain. This action caused damage to the trees and crops, according to the sources. These incidents occur amidst a rise in settler and Israeli forces' attacks on farmers in various West Bank areas during the olive harvest season.
