A 44-year-old Palestinian man was killed and 16 others were wounded during an assault by Israeli settlers on olive harvesters in the occupied West Bank, according to Al Jazeera.
The report did not specify the exact town or village where the attack took place, nor did it detail the medical condition of those wounded beyond stating the overall casualty figures.
Olive harvest season has periodically been a flashpoint in the West Bank in recent years, with Palestinian farmers reporting incidents of harassment, property damage and violence by settlers while attempting to access and harvest their groves, particularly land located near or adjacent to Israeli settlements.
Al Jazeera's report did not indicate whether Israeli police or military had responded to the incident or opened an investigation at the time of publication. Israeli authorities have in the past said they investigate reports of settler violence, though Palestinian and rights groups have frequently criticized the pace and outcomes of such investigations.
The incident adds to a broader pattern of violence recorded in the West Bank amid heightened regional tensions linked to the war in Gaza.
