A group of Israeli settlers opened gunfire today at Palestinian farmers working in agricultural land outside the village of Shufa, in the northern West Bank province of Tulkarm, local sources said.
Tahsin Hamed, a local Palestinian farmer, told WAFA that a group of Israeli settlers under army cover opened gunfire at his brothers and him while working in their own land, forcing them to leave at gunpoint.
He added that the settlers attempted to steal his car, but his brother and he were able to drive out of the area for a safe haven.
Israeli settler violence against Palestinians and their property is commonplace in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli occupation authorities.
