Israeli settlers beat Palestinian farmers in attack captured on video

Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters and activists in Turmus Ayya on Sunday, beating them with clubs, videos obtained by the AP show. A woman was hospitalized with serious injuries, Palestinian health officials said. Footage captured masked men striking people in an olive grove, chasing a car, and cars set ablaze. The U.N. warned settler violence has skyrocketed as harvest season begins; officials recorded 757 attacks in the West Bank in the first half of 2025, a 13% rise. Israel’s West Bank police chief urged justice, while the military and police declined comment.
