Updated: On Friday, Israeli soldiers injured four Palestinian farmers, including one who suffered a serious gunshot injury to the head, while illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers burnt five cars in the Seder area between Turmus Ayya and al-Mughayyirvillages, northeast of the central West Bank city of Ramallah.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said one Palestinian is in a profoundly serious condition due to a gunshot wound to the head before he was rushed to Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah.

The Health Ministry added that four Palestinians suffered concussions and bruises after being attacked by the soldiers and the colonizers.

Marzouq Abu Na’im, a member of the al-Mughayyir Village Council, said the colonizers came from the Adi Ad illegal colony, built on stolen Palestinian lands, and invaded the lands before attacking the Palestinians, their lands, and their cars.

He added that the colonizers attacked Palestinian farmers while working on their lands in the Seder area between the two villages before burning five cars and about 270 barley bales.

Abu Na’im stated that Israeli soldiers invaded the area and attacked the Palestinians who were trying to force the colonizers out of their lands, leading to protests, before firing many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.

Medical sources confirmed that the soldiers shot four Palestinians with live rounds before local medics rushed them to a hospital in Ramallah.

It is worth mentioning that the Al-Moghayir remains closed by the army for the fourteenth day, and the Palestinians have to seek longer dirt roads to enter or leave it.
