A group of Jewish settlers attacked Palestinian farmers while they were harvesting olives in the village of Burin to the south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
Local activists affirmed that the settlers from the illegal Yitzhar settlement attacked the farmers while they were picking olives near the village.
Settlers’ attacks witnessed an increase since the beginning of the olive harvest season this month.
Harvesting olives in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has become a race for Palestinian farmers.
The attacks are occurring at an accelerating rate continuing a spike in vandalism and violence.
Peace activists say most of the attacks go uninvestigated by the Israeli army which is deployed across the West Bank.
