A group of Israeli settlers surrounded a Palestinian family while they were picking olives on their private land east of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank on Saturday morning.
A local source told PIC that a number of settlers from the illegal Alon Moreh settlement surrounded Abu Yasser family while they were picking olives on their land in the outskirts of the village of Deir Hatab and threatened to kill them if they don’t leave the area.
Local residents immediately rushed to the area and forced the settlers to leave before an Israeli patrol arrived.
During olive harvest season settlers’ attacks on Palestinian harvesters and their olive groves have been a near daily occurrence in past years.
