Burqa:Israeli colonists attacked Palestinian farmers harvesting olives on Saturday morning in the village of Burqa, located west of Ramallah. The attackers forced the farmers off their land, preventing them from continuing their harvest.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency, Sail Kanaan, head of the Burqa Village Council, reported that a group of colonists raided the Khallat Ali area, which is situated between Burqa and the nearby town of Deir Dibwan. The colonists assaulted the farmers, forcing them to leave and warning them not to return to resume their work.
On the preceding Tuesday, colonists set fire to a house in Burqa, which was occupied by a family of five. The village has faced repeated attacks by colonists targeting both residents' homes and agricultural land, alongside continuous attempts to raid the village and instill fear among its residents.
The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission recorded 19 colonist attacks on Friday, targeting olive harvesters, farmers, and their properties. These incidents included setting fire to a vehicle, uprooting more than 50 olive trees in the town of Qusra, south of Nablus, and attacking olive harvesters in various West Bank villages. Additionally, gunfire resulted in the injury of a farmer in the Salfit Governorate.
