❗️Israeli settlers assault Palestinian farmers and land activists in occupied West Bank According to WAFA, groups of Israeli settlers—operating under the direct protection of Israeli occupation forces—assaulted local Palestinian farmers and solidarity activists before forcibly expelling them from their agricultural land in Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah. The assault targeted community members and international activists assisting indigenous families with the annual olive harvest. Armed settlers physically attacked the gatherers, vandalized agricultural equipment, and threatened those present with live ammunition while Israeli military units provided top cover and enforced the illegal expulsion by declaring the surrounding area a closed zone. The coordinated attack highlights the systemic pattern of state-sponsored land grabs across the occupied West Bank, where military forces routinely facilitate settler violence to strip Palestinians of access to their ancestral farmland.
