Two Palestinians  injured as a result of the Israeli occupation’s attack in the West Bank  

Dozens of Palestinians were injured on Monday  as a result of Israeli occupation forces attacking them in the town of Tuqu’, southeast of the city of Bethlehem in the West Bank.  

The mayor of Tuqu’ municipality , Tayseer Abu Mufarreh, told Wafa Agency that the occupation forces stormed the municipality’s perimeter and fired bullets and poison gas bombs at the Palestinians, causing dozens of suffocation cases.  

They also fired sound bombs at olive pickers in the Al-Baqaa Plain area west of Tuqu’ and prevented them from reaping their harvest. 

In this context, the occupation forces prevented farmers from picking olives in the village of Rummana, adjacent to the apartheid wall, west of the city of Jenin, while settlers stormed the village of Qaryut, south of Nablus, and attacked Palestinian farmers while they were harvesting the olive crop and forced them to leave their lands.  

Within the framework of the policy of collective punishment and the occupation’s continued aggression against the Palestinian people, the Minister in the occupation government, Bezalel Smotrich, called for preventing Palestinians in the occupied West Bank from picking olives.
