Israeli occupation forces assaulted Palestinian farmers on Thursday while they were plowing their land in Wadi Abu Ayyash, located in the village of Al-Rashayda east of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Village Council head, Jom’a Rashayda, stated that Israeli troops fired gas bombs and stun grenades at the farmers and forcibly expelled them from their land at gunpoint.
Rashayda added that the soldiers also detained two citizens, assaulted them, and later released them.
This attack follows a similar incident the previous day, when Israeli forces and illegal paramilitary colonizers assaulted Palestinian farmers in the same area. During that assault, a young man was shot in the leg with live ammunition.
These repeated attacks are part of a broader campaign to terrorize and displace Palestinian residents from their agricultural lands in favor of colonial expansion.
