Ramallah:Journalist Issam Rimawi sustained injuries amid attacks by Israeli army forces and settlers targeting Palestinians west of Ramallah.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, media reports indicated that the incident occurred in the town of Deir Abu Mash’al as Palestinians were harvesting olives. Israeli army forces reportedly entered the area, pursuing farmers, expelling them, and prohibiting the olive harvest. Additionally, settlers attacked local residents during this time.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported treating four individuals injured in the settler attack in Deir Abu Mash’al. The injuries comprised one from live ammunition to the thigh, two from rubber-coated metal bullets, and one from physical assault. The injured were transported to the hospital for treatment.

In a similar incident, Israeli army forces prevented farmers in Kafr Ni’ma, another town west of Ramallah, from harvesting olives. This is part of ongoing restrictions and attacks linked to the olive harvest season in the West Bank.
