Israeli settlers injured 16 Palestinians and burned 55 olive trees in a series of attacks across the occupied West Bank, according to a report from Anadolu Agency.
The attacks targeted Palestinian olive harvesters at the start of the annual olive picking season, a period when such incidents have recurred in previous years in the occupied territory.
Olive harvesting is an important economic and cultural activity for many Palestinian families in the West Bank, and the season has frequently been accompanied by confrontations between Palestinian farmers and Israeli settlers in various parts of the territory.
No further details were immediately available regarding the specific locations of the attacks, the extent of the injuries, or any response from Israeli authorities.
