Israeli settlers attack farmers, vehicles near Ramallah

The Wafa news agency is reporting that Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinian farmers and vehicles near the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, under the protection of Israeli forces.

Amin Abu Elaya, head of Al-Mughayer Village Council, told Wafa that a group of settlers threw stones at farmers and vehicles at the western entrance of the village, on the road leading to the neighbouring village of Abu Falah.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Earlier, Abu Elaya said that Israeli forces also attacked a Bedouin community near the same village.

The soldiers reportedly detained several of the residents of the community and threatened them with further consequences if they left their tents, or approached a nearby military outpost.
