Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian farmers picking olives in the West Bank, while Israeli forces detained and assaulted journalists covering the incident, according to Al Jazeera.
The reported attack took place in the Jabal Qamass area near the town of Beita, south of Nablus, a region that has repeatedly seen confrontations between Israeli settlers and Palestinian residents.
Journalists reportedly targeted
Al Jazeera's report said Israeli soldiers detained and struck reporters who were present at the scene, though the network's account did not specify how many journalists were affected or the extent of any injuries.
The olive harvest season in the West Bank has in recent years been accompanied by recurring incidents in which Palestinian farmers say they face harassment or violence from settlers while trying to access their land, a pattern Israeli authorities have in the past attributed to isolated individuals or disputed.
Al Jazeera's report did not indicate whether Israeli police or military authorities have opened an investigation into the attack on the farmers or the treatment of journalists at the scene.
