Settlers launched a wave of attacks across Palestinian towns and villages in the West Bank and East Jerusalem early Thursday, assaulting residents, vandalizing and burning vehicles and property, and damaging agricultural land. These incidents occurred amid a broader escalation of violence targeting Palestinian communities and farmers, coinciding with the olive harvest season.
In the Ramallah governorate, settlers attacked homes and property in Atara, assaulting several Palestinians, including a 67-year-old man who was hospitalized. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported treating the elderly man. Local sources indicated that vehicles were also damaged during the attack, which followed the demolition of an outpost near Atara. Israeli forces subsequently closed the Atara and Ein Siniya checkpoints, increasing military presence and hindering Palestinian movement.
Attacks also occurred in the Jericho and Jordan Valley areas, where 13 sheep belonging to a local resident were poisoned by settlers. In the Nablus governorate, settlers attacked the village of Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, burning vehicles, property, storerooms, and olive trees. Other attacks targeted northern Jordan Valley, Ramallah, and Hebron regions, involving damage to agricultural land and assaults on farmers and olive pickers.
The Palestinian Civil Affairs Commission documented 25 attacks by settlers and Israeli forces on Wednesday, primarily targeting farmers during the olive harvest, as well as homes, agricultural land, and infrastructure. These included Israeli forces firing at farmers, detaining them in Jenin, and arresting farmers in Salfit and Qalqilya. A woman sustained moderate injuries from stone-throwing by settlers in Wadi Abbas.
In Nablus, armed settlers stole olive harvesting equipment from farmers in Madama and vandalized property in Qusra. In Hebron, settlers damaged home furnishings and assaulted and robbed a citizen. Israeli forces arrested two individuals in the same area. Settlers also targeted roadside stalls selling produce near Ein al-Beida in the northern Jordan Valley.
Data from the Wall and Settlements Resistance Commission revealed a significant increase in settler attacks, with 1369 incidents recorded in October, a 111.6% rise from 647 in September. The majority of these attacks targeted farmers and olive pickers, involving live ammunition, beatings, crop theft, and the burning of agricultural lands, preventing owners from accessing thousands of dunams.
