Israeli settlers injure two Palestinians in attack east of Salfit

Israeli settlers severely beat two Palestinians on their agricultural land in the Wadi al-Sha’er area, east of Salfit in the occupied West Bank, on Sunday, causing injuries and bruising, the Wafa news agency reported.

The agency identified the men as Mohammed Darwish and Nashat Ishtayeh, both from Salfit.

Residents, students and vehicles use the area daily because it lies along a main road connecting Salfit with Al-Zaytoona University.

Settlers frequently attack and harass Palestinians and target their agricultural land in the area amid escalating settler violence across the governorate.
