Settlers attacked Palestinians picking olives in the al-Hara'iq area of Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, on Tuesday, 27 October, injuring two people, WAFA reported. An elderly man suffered deep cuts to his hand and another person was treated for tear-gas inhalation.

Israeli forces had entered the village earlier in the day to protect the settlers, local sources said, and troops detained farmer Anas al-Shuja'iya during the attack. The report did not include an Israeli response or say whether anyone was arrested.

Land near Deir Jarir and Turmus Ayya had already been declared a closed military zone this harvest season without written orders being shown, according to Al Jazeera. A Palestinian commission has counted more than 480 attacks on this year's harvest across nine governorates.
