Six Palestinians injured in Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank

Six Palestinians were injured on Friday in attacks by Israeli settlers on farmers and olive pickers in two villages east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.

Four Palestinians were injured when settlers attacked olive pickers in Burqa, while two others were hurt in a similar attack on farmers in Abu Falah, WAFA reported. The attacks took place under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

Separately, Israeli occupation forces detained 10 Palestinians during raids early Friday. Three were detained in Hebron governorate, four in Qalqilya and three in Kafr Dan, west of Jenin. The detentions followed raids on their homes.

On Thursday, a Palestinian young man was injured by Israeli occupation forces’ gunfire during a raid on Tulkarm in the northwestern West Bank.
