\u201cWhen we arrived this morning, a group of about 50 masked settlers approached. They were throwing stones and attacked a house,\u201d an activist from California volunteering with Palestinian communities to harvest olives who asked to remain anonymous told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n

\u201cShortly afterwards, they [the settlers] were followed by soldiers who came and rounded up all the Palestinians and activists who were olive harvesting and told the activists they had to leave. They sat them on the ground at gunpoint and forced us to leave,\u201d the activist added.<\/p>\n

Journalists assaulted<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Israeli forces detained journalists and assaulted them in the Jabal Qamass area in Beita, south of Nablus, our colleagues reported.<\/p>\n

Al Jazeera footage captured settlers smashing a Palestinian vehicle in Osarin while other videos showed the moment armed settlers attacked a Palestinian home in Beita.<\/p>\n

In the village of Osarin in Nablus, they fired tear gas at Palestinians and journalists and attacked homes, stoned vehicles and assaulted several villagers, the Palestinian news agency Wafa said.<\/p>\n

Palestinian media reported a number of residents have tried to repel the settler attacks<\/a>, which are part of a wider pogrom<\/a> against Palestinians across the West Bank that has intensified since February.<\/p>\n

Since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, Israelis have killed 1,212 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 254 children. Most of the killings were carried out by soldiers. More than a quarter were committed by settlers.<\/p>\n

Palestinian authorities said 30 Palestinians have been killed by settlers since the start of 2026, more than in any year since 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Israeli forces detain and assault journalists in Jabal Qamass area in Beita, south of Nablus.
