A horde of extremist Jewish settlers on Saturday morning attacked Palestinian citizens in al-Attara area in the east of Yatta south of al-Khalil.
According to local sources the attack happened when local residents tried to reach their lands where settlers recently deployed water tanks to irrigate trees they had planted in the area.
The sources said that the settlers assaulted the citizens under military protection and prevented them from reaching their lands.
300 dunums of Palestinian-owned land were seized recently by those settlers near the illegal settlements of Avigayil Susya and Mitzpe Yair. The lands belong to the families of Hamad Awwad and Abd Rabo.
In a separate incident dozens of Palestinian citizens suffered from their exposure to tear gas on Saturday morning when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) attacked them as they were picking olives from a grove in western Jenin.
Eyewitnesses said that the IOF showered dozens of farmers and volunteers as they were harvesting olives on swaths of land near the separation wall in Zububa village.
