A horde of Jewish settlers on Monday afternoon attacked Palestinian farmers in Burin town south of Nablus as they were working their lands.
Burin mayor Yahiya Qadous said that more than 25 settlers from the illegal settlement of Yitzhar brutalized a group of farmers as they were plowing their plots of land in al-Mayadin area south of the town and tried to expel them from their own lands.
After obtaining a permit from the Israeli military authorities the farmers had brought agricultural tractors to their lands in the morning to plow them.
They have been prevented many times by the Israeli army to reach their lands at the pretext they are located near Yitzhar settlement.
