Three injuries, including a foreign activist, as a result of the settlers' attack on olive pickers in Turmus Ayya.

Two citizens and a foreign activist were injured today, Sunday, as a result of an attack by settlers on olive pickers in the town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah.

Security sources reported that settlers attacked the olive pickers in Turmus Ayya and assaulted them, resulting in injuries to a young man, a woman, and a foreign activist with varying bruises and wounds.

They added that the occupation forces, accompanied by a number of settlers, attacked the citizens and fired at them while they were picking olives in the "Wadi Ammar" area, preventing them from continuing to pick the olives and forcing them to leave their lands by force.

The settlers also set fire to two vehicles belonging to citizens Shaher Abu Aliya and Muhammad Abu Aliya.

This morning, the occupation forces set up a "flying" military checkpoint at the main entrance of Turmus Ayya, detaining and searching several vehicles.

During the annual olive-picking season, Palestinian lands are subjected to repeated attacks by settlers and the occupation army, and farmers continuously face assaults and violations that prevent them from accessing their lands, leading to significant material losses and increasing their daily suffering under occupation.

Since October 7, 2023, settlers have carried out a total of 7,154 attacks against citizens and their properties, resulting in the martyrdom of 33 citizens in the West Bank.

The attacks by the occupation and its settlers have led to the uprooting, destruction, and damage of a total of 48,728 trees, including 37,237 olive trees.
