West Bank: Israeli settlers attack Palestinians near Al-Mughayir, east of Ramallah

Today, Friday, settlers attacked a number of citizens and assaulted agricultural lands near the village of Al-Mughayir, east of Ramallah.

Activist in the village, Muhammad Rafiq Abu Alia, said that armed settlers attacked agricultural lands to destroy them, and fired live bullets at a number of village citizens who tried to confront them to protect their crops, especially olive trees.

A few days ago, settlers had set up two tents in an area called Ain Al-Banat, located between the villages of Kafr Malek and Al-Mughir. The residents fear that it will turn into a settlement, and the citizens’ lands there will be seized.
