Jewish settlers fired live bullets at Palestinian farmers while they were in their lands southeast of the West Bank city of Tulkarem on Friday.
Eyewitnesses reported that several extremist Jewish settlers from the Avnei Hefetz settlement fired live bullets at Palestinian farmers while they were working in their lands in the village of Shoufa southeast of Tulkarem.
“Jewish settlers guarded by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) fired live bullets at my brothers and me and forced us to leave claiming that our lands are closed military zones” the owner of the land Tahseen Hamed said.
Hamed added that the settlers tried to confiscate his vehicle but his siblings confronted them and managed to protect it.
The Avnei Hefetz settlement is established on the lands of Shoufa Kafa Kafr al-Labad and al-Hafassi villages in the Tulkarem governorate.
