On Sunday evening, settlers, protected by the Israeli occupation forces, detained farmers in the town of Al-Khader, south of Bethlehem.

Activist Ahmed Salah reported that settlers, under the protection of the Israeli forces, attacked farmers on their lands while they were plowing in the “Ain al-Qasis” area, west of the town, and prevented them from continuing to work before they were detained, forced them to leave their land, and threatened them not to return again.

He added that the settlers, under the protection of the army, continue to detain the young man, Raafat Muhammad Salah (33 years old), in the place.
