On Tuesday, Israeli settlers backed by military forces carried out attacks against Palestinians and olive pickers in the occupied West Bank during the olive harvest season. In Atara, north of Ramallah, two vehicles were torched and racist slogans spray-painted on a house after midnight. Mayor Nizar Moghrabi reported that since August, when settlers established an outpost on Atara’s land, the town has faced multiple assaults including vehicle arson and window smashing, aimed at displacing residents. The attacks occurred despite the presence of Israeli military forces nearby. Palestinians suspect the army was aware but did not intervene effectively to prevent these incidents.
