URISHLEM — The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Urishlem (Jerusalem) condemned an attack by masked Israeli settlers on residents of the predominately Christian village of Taybeh and a visiting European diplomatic delegation, warning that escalating violence in the occupied West Bank threatens local communities and the future of the Christian presence in the Holy Land. In a statement dated 19 October, the Church leaders described the 17 October assault as a “heinous attack” targeting Christian Palestinian residents harvesting olives and foreign visitors who had come to express solidarity with communities facing repeated settler violence.

Israeli settlers have been targeting Palestinians across the occupied West Bank during the annual olive harvest season, according to reports from local officials and emergency responders. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that six people were injured in two separate attacks in Abu Falah, near Ramallah, on Friday. A 63-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man were beaten by settlers and taken to hospital. The attacks involved setting olive trees and cars on fire. Israel has imposed new rules on the olive harvest, prohibiting Palestinians from working in Area C, which is under Israeli security control and covers most of the agricultural land in the territory. Palestinian officials report that at least four Palestinians have been killed and over 100 injured since the harvest began in early October. Thousands of trees have been damaged, causing significant financial losses for farmers. Yesh Din, an Israeli settlements monitoring group, reports at least 170 settler attacks since September 27, around the start of the olive harvest. The right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has overseen rapid settlement expansion in the West Bank, which has emboldened settlers. While Netanyahu has criticized the violence, he has taken few steps to address incidents that have drawn international condemnation and sanctions from longtime Israeli allies like Britain. The West Bank is home to approximately 500,000 settlers and at least three million Palestinians. UN bodies and most countries consider the settlements illegal under international law regarding military occupations, though Israel views the territory as disputed rather than occupied.

Israeli settlers, clad in black with masked faces, launched a coordinated attack on Palestinian villagers harvesting olives in the West Bank village of Abu Falah on Friday. The settlers burned olive trees, threw rocks, and injured at least two people, including Heidi Levine, a photojournalist with the Washington Post. Witnesses reported that around 80 settlers, some carrying gas canisters, descended from a hill above a terraced olive grove where villagers had gathered for the annual harvest. The settlers positioned themselves in front of the olive trees, using slings to launch rocks at Palestinians, who defended themselves by throwing stones. Israeli military jeeps arrived during the attack, kicking up dust as villagers fled, but the violence continued with soldiers firing tear gas and live ammunition. Levine, who was pushed to the ground and kicked, described the attack as life-threatening, noting that her flak jacket and helmet saved her. She was taken to a hospital in Ramallah, where she remains in stable condition. The attack follows a surge in settler violence, with at least 170 incidents since September 27, according to Yesh Din, an Israeli settlements monitoring group. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has overseen rapid settlement expansion, emboldening settlers despite international condemnation. The West Bank, home to approximately 500,000 settlers and 3 million Palestinians, remains a flashpoint, with UN bodies and most countries deeming settlements illegal under international law. The attack also occurred near Turmus Ayya, where settlers burned three cars after attacking farmers harvesting olives. Palestinian medics confirmed two injuries, including Levine, and the Washington Post did not immediately comment on the incident.
