al-Mughayyir:Israeli colonists, with the backing of Israeli occupation forces, reportedly stole olive crops from Palestinian land in the village of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah. This incident took place on Sunday amidst a surge in attacks on Palestinian farmers and olive harvesters throughout the occupied West Bank.
According to Palestine news and Information Agency – WAFA, local sources indicated that colonists infiltrated the agricultural land in the village's eastern plain area. They proceeded to steal harvested olives under the protection of Israeli forces.
The village experienced further disturbances on Saturday when colonists attacked again, stealing olive crops and damaging several trees. These actions are part of a broader pattern of assaults reported in recent days.
