Three Palestinians were injured on Saturday morning during an attack by settlers in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that one individual sustained a live bullet wound to the thigh, while two others were affected by pepper spray. In a separate incident, settlers released sheep onto agricultural lands planted with olive trees in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah. Local sources stated that Israeli occupation forces protected the settlers as they grazed their sheep in the eastern plain of Al-Mughayyir, causing damage to olive trees and crops. This recurring tactic of settlers releasing livestock onto West Bank agricultural lands results in crop destruction and financial losses for farmers.
