Israeli settlers attack olive pickers near Nablus

Israeli settlers this morning attacked olive pickers in the village of Jalud, south of Nablus.

Local sources reported that a number of settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces, attacked citizens in the southwestern part of the village of Jalud, fired live bullets at them, and stole the olives, WAFA News Agency reported.

According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, the occupation forces and settlers have carried out more than 253 attacks since the beginning of the olive picking season, including 184 attacks in the northern West Bank, and 113 concentrated in the Nablus Governorate.

During the annual olive picking season, Palestinian lands are subjected to repeated attacks by settlers and the occupation army, and farmers constantly face obstacles and arbitrary practices that prevent them from reaching their lands, which leads to serious material losses and increases their daily suffering under the occupation.
