Dozens of Palestinians, foreign activists, and journalists have been wounded as Israeli army-backed settlers carried out coordinated assaults across the occupied West Bank.
The attacks took place on Saturday, with the biggest number of the casualties, namely 17 people, being caused after settlers raided the outskirts of the Abu Falah village, northeast of the city of Ramallah, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reported. Those injured included foreign activists.
According to the agency, settlers also torched a home, while Israeli forces attacked the area, targeting the residents, who had gathered near the scene. The latter incident, though, did not lead to any casualties.
In another wave of violence, settlers launched attacks on Palestinian farmers, journalists, and foreign activists participating in the annual olive harvest across several towns, leaving many with fractures and bruises.
The attacks were most severe in Beita, south of Nablus, where settlers descended from nearby outposts and ambushed harvesters in the Qamas Mountain area, said Mohammad Hamayel, the town’s deputy mayor.
Witnesses reported that the settlers, armed with sticks and stones, struck participants as they gathered olives from family groves.
Among those assaulted were foreign solidarity activists, paramedics, and journalists, including Reuters reporter Raneen Sawafta and two Al Jazeera correspondents.
Local Palestinian health officials confirmed that medics had treated 11 people.
The violence extended beyond Beita. In the nearby village of Burin, a Palestinian farmer and four international activists were injured when settlers attacked them, while they were picking olives east of the village, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Observers commenting on the attacks noted how the settlers had long been targeting those participating in the tradition that marks both livelihood and resistance
In Furush Beit Dajan, east of Nablus, settlers assaulted farmers and international volunteers working on village lands, though no injuries were reported, said Bedouin rights group Al-Baidar.
Meanwhile, in Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, settlers cut down several olive trees.
Earlier the same morning, a Palestinian man was beaten and wounded by Israeli forces in the town of Yatta, south of the city of al-Khalil (Hebron), according to Wafa.
The United Nations has sounded the alarm over a dramatic escalation in violence by illegal settlers against Palestinians across the West Bank, warning that the scale of attacks has reached its highest level in nearly twenty years......more below

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ (IRGC) Intelligence Unit says Iran will consider the Israeli regime’s shelters “legitimate targets” if residential areas in the country come under attack.
In a post published on social media platform X on Tuesday, the IRGC said that any strikes on residential areas in Iran would give Iran’s armed forces the right to attack Israeli shelters in the occupied lands.
The IRGC stated that it has intelligence on the blueprints and the exact locations of these shelters.
Iran began its Operation True Promise 4 after the US and Israel launched their joint military aggression against the Islamic Republic in late February by assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, and several senior Iranian officials.
In its latest wave of attacks, the IRGC said it rained down missiles on the Israeli regime’s “secure” intelligence facilities in Tel Aviv.

In a fresh wave of retaliatory strikes, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) targeted the Israeli regime’s “secure” intelligence facilities in Tel Aviv.
The IRGC’s Public Relations Department said in a statement on Tuesday that it had carried out the 79th wave of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 against the Israeli and American targets.
Deploying powerful Kheybar Shekan, Emad, and Sejjil missiles alongside IRGC Aerospace Force kamikaze drones, the operation successfully breached the regime's multi-layered air defense systems, the statement said.
The missiles, it stated, targeted Israel’s intelligence facilities in northern and central Tel Aviv, as well as military commercial and support centers in Ramat Gan and the Negev.
The missiles also hit Israel’s southern military logistics and command headquarters in Beersheba.
The missile strikes triggered widespread panic across Israel and forced the suspension of a Knesset (parliament) session on Tuesday.

'A distinct record'
The latest phase, it noted, "has set a distinct record in the timeline of the war."
