Deir Abu Mash'al:A Palestinian journalist was injured, and dozens of others suffered from tear gas inhalation on Saturday morning during an Israeli military raid on the village of Deir Abu Mash'al, located northwest of Ramallah.
According to Palestine news and Information Agency, Israeli soldiers attacked olive harvesters as they were picking olives, firing tear gas canisters at them to force them off their land. This resulted in several individuals experiencing breathing difficulties.
Additionally, Israeli forces shot journalist Issam al-Rimawi in the thigh with a rubber-coated metal bullet while he was covering the events in the village.
The start of the olive harvest season across the West Bank has been marked by escalating attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinian farmers and olive harvesters. These incidents include physical assaults, restrictions on access to agricultural land, damage to trees, and theft of crops. This rise in organized attacks poses a significant threat to the livelihoods of thousands of Palestinian families.
