Kafr ra'i: Israeli forces and settlers attacked Palestinian olive pickers in the town of Kafr Ra'i, south of Jenin. Local sources reported that the attack occurred while farmers were engaged in harvesting olives in the area.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, several settlers, protected by Israeli soldiers, initiated the attack. The forces then joined in, opening live fire toward the olive pickers to force them off their lands. This confrontation is part of a broader pattern of targeting agricultural lands during the annual olive harvest season, disrupting farmers' work and causing significant material losses.
