On October 7, 2026, dozens of settlers accompanied by Israeli forces, attacked farmers picking olives, from Barqa, northwest of Nablus, on their lands between Barqa and the Rameen Plain, in Wadi al-Jabe basin, east of Tulkarm, in the zone A, far from every settlement. They opened fire and beat them, causing injuries. The farmers were beaten with clubs, iron tools, guns and stones, and when they resisted, the attackers called in more armed settlers, who opened fire. They prevented then ambulances from reaching several wounded people and threatened to shoot anyone approaching, delaying their evacuation to hospital. Israeli forces attacked ambulance crews near the Barqa Plain as they attempted to reach and evacuate the wounded from the Rameen Plain. Three paramedics and a volunteer from Barqa were detained, and ambulance keys were seized before they were released and ordered to leave. **Casulaties:** A citizen was killed and 9 others injured. The Ministry of Health identified the deceased as: Ali Hassan Yasser Bizari, 44. (An officer in the Palestinian National Security Forces) Nine people were injured in the attack, some seriously, Some of the wounded were taken to Martyr Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital in Tulkarm and others to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, where al-Bizari was pronounced dead. A woman was among the injured. **Testimony of Mistaclim:** "Area B, between Burqa and Ramin. A deadly attack involving live fire took place. Eight people were wounded, four of them seriously, and one person was killed: Ali Hassan Yasser Al-Bazzari, 44. The army did not allow ambulances to reach the scene, forcing residents to carry the wounded through the mountains to hospitals. The army, which is the sovereign authority in the territories, does not provide security for Palestinians during the olive harvest and does not allow activists to assist them. Through deliberate inaction, the army allows violent Israeli attackers to enter the harvesting areas and Palestinian land, effectively encouraging attacks against civilians who have come to their own land to harvest their olives." **Testimony of the cousin of the martyr** "My cousin was martyred, and they hit me on the head with an iron bar," a Palestinian farmer from Burqa says after Israeli colonial terrorists, backed by the Israeli occupation army, attacked families harvesting olives on their land in the Ramin plain on Wednesday. Ali Hassan Yusr Al-Bazzari, 44, was killed and 16 others were wounded, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The farmer describes being beaten with clubs, iron tools, guns and stones, and says that when the farmers resisted, the attackers called in more armed colonists, who opened fire. He says the same gangs were in the area a day earlier, openly stealing olives from the people of Ramin and Bizzariya on land classified as Area A, far from any settlement. The Palestine Red Crescent said Israeli occupation forces beat its paramedics as they tried to reach the wounded, detained three medics and a volunteer, and confiscated the keys to their ambulances. "As long as the olive trees remain," he says, "the Palestinian people remain." **Testimony of Shadi Abu Omar, a member of the Burqa Village Council** Abu Omar said residents had gone to the area to harvest olives and were not expecting to encounter settlers. However, he said, a group of settlers arrived in a vehicle and opened fire on them. "After the shooting, the settlers approached the harvesters, began beating them and then bound them," "Among them was al-Bazari, who had been shot in the back. Despite bleeding from the wound, he, along with the other injured people, including a woman, was tied up." According to Abu Omar, the wounded lay bleeding for three hours because soldiers prevented ambulances from reaching them, assaulted medics and detained several of them. He said the attack took place in the presence of the Israeli army, which did not intervene to drive the settlers away.

Since October 7, 2026 in Wadi al-Rakhim, Masafer Yatta, near as-Samuʿ, in the southern West Bank, settlers besieged the Shanaran family home, attackd the family, blockd the only access road, and reportedly attempt to set fire to the house; Israeli forces arrived but do not remove the settlers. The house of Yousef Shanaran (يوسف شناران) is located in Wadi Rahim/Wadi al-Rakhim, in Area B near as-Samuʿ, in the southern Hebron Hills. **Timeline of the event:** On the evening of 5 October, dozens of settlers attacked his home, throwing stones at the house. According to Shanaran, they tried to set fire to the garage door and break into the house. The settlers subsequently erected a tent immediately outside/near the house, blocking the only road in and out, effectively trapping the family. The family included Yousef, his wife and four younger children aged 8–13; other reports say seven children remained inside the house. An Israeli military force arrived but did not remove the settlers or lift the siege. An outpost had reportedly been established roughly 800 metres from the house, demolished and rebuilt several times. Shortly before the attack, an extension was established much closer to the family home. On October 6, settlers attacked a Palestinian dwelling in Wadi al-Rakhim with stones, causing material damage. On October 7, dozens of settlers surrounded the house and assaulted Yousef and his wife, injuring both. Israeli soldiers subsequently arrived but did not lift the siege; ambulances were reportedly unable to reach the injured couple. Settlers were remaining around the house and even playing football alongside Israeli soldiers. The outpost erected at the site had been dismantled by the army overnight but was subsequently rebuilt nearby.

During the night of the 6 October, just after midnight, Israeli settlers attacked and set ablaze Palestinian vehicles in the village of Aqraba, Nablus, West Bank. Settlers spray-painted racist slogans calling for killing and revenge. Residents said they “believe such attacks are aimed at forcing Palestinians to leave their homes and abandon their land, paving the way for its takeover”.They said they were shocked by the attack, which took place after midnight, when the village was quiet and residents were asleep. During the day, two Palestinians were injured by gunfire in a terror attack by state-backed Israeli settler militias against olive-picking farmers near the town of Aqraba. Palestinian photojournalist Jaafar Ashtiyeh, known for his exceptional images, is injured by israelis while covering their hostile raid. Another Palestinian, at least, was injured. **Testimony of Mistaclim:** "The army threats to prevent Palestinians from harvesting their olives if "left-wing anarchist activists" arrives to assist with the harvest, yet it helps settlers in carrying out a shooting attack against the harvesters. This morning, during an olive harvest near Aqraba in Area B, six ATVs carrying armed settlers sped into the area. They fired in the air and at the Palestinian harvesters, winding several of them including a photojournalist. The army arrived, and as usual its response was simply to issue a "closed military zone" order. The army obstructed the evacuation of the wounded; as far as is known, only one injured person was taken away. The settlers who had opened fire drove right past the soldiers, who did nothing. As the governing authority, the army has a duty to enable the harvest, provide security for it, and safeguard the Palestinians' livelihood. However, the army and the settlers are coordinating to harm the Palestinians." **The Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate statement** October 6, 2026 – The Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate has condemned the escalating targeting of journalists by Israeli occupation forces and colonist militias across the northern West Bank, describing it as a dangerous new chapter in the occupation’s systematic policy against journalists and media outlets. In an official statement, the Syndicate reported that field reports documented colonist militias brutally assaulting Agence France-Presse (AFP) photographer Jaafar Ashtiyeh near the town of Aqraba, southeast of Nablus. Ashtiyeh sustained severe injuries that required his urgent transfer to the hospital in serious condition. The colonists also smashed and confiscated his professional journalistic equipment while he was covering colonist attacks on olive harvesters on the town’s lands.
