Occupied al-Quds- Saba:
Three Palestinians were injured and bruised on Friday in an attack carried out by settlers while citizens were on their agricultural land in the town of Bidya, west of Salfit.
Sanad News Agency reported, citing eyewitnesses, that citizen Ahmed Sarsour from the village of Sarta, and brothers Saqr and Abdulrahim al-Aqraa from the town of Bidya, were attacked by a group of settlers while they were in Khallet Hassan area north of the town, resulting in varying degrees of injury.
Witnesses indicated that Sarsour was transferred to Salfit Governmental Hospital for treatment after sustaining wounds and bruises to various parts of his body, while enemy forces detained the Al-Aqraa brothers and transferred them to Yakir settlement camp, built on citizens' land.
Khallet Hassan area has witnessed repeated attempts by settlers to seize citizens' land, by installing caravans and grazing sheep, with the aim of imposing a new reality on the ground.
Settlers also attacked farmers while they were plowing their land in al-Yanbou' area, west of the village of Farkha, southwest of Salfit.
These attacks come amid a significant escalation in settler attacks on citizens and their property in Salfit Governorate recently.
