Jewish settlers attack Palestinian farmers harvesting olive crops

Jewish settlers today attacked Palestinian farmers harvesting their olive crops in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, injuring two, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA. Walid Assaf, head of the Wall and Settlements Resistance Commission, told WAFA that Jewish settlers brutally attacked Palestinian farmers who, supported by dozens of volunteers, finally managed to reach their lands in Burqa, after being denied access for years. Assaf added that the settlers, from the illegal Megron settlement, were protected by Israeli soldiers when they attacked the farmers, injuring two of them. The farmers, along with the volunteers, confronted the attackers and were able to fend them off. Between 500,000 and 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law.
