Israeli settlers today prevented Palestinian farmers from proceeding with harvesting their olive crops in the town of Beit Furik, east of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

Local sources told SAFA that a group of settlers from the settlement of Itamar attacked the Palestinian farmers who were harvesting their olive crops, forcing them to leave.

Since the start of the olive harvest this year, Israeli settlers have escalated their fierce attacks against the Palestinian farmers.
