A Palestinian confronts a settler during an Israeli attack targeting Palestinian farmers and solidarity activists on agricultural land belonging to the village of Khirbet Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah in the West Bank, 3 July 2026. Eight people were injured.
The attackers came from a newly established outpost nearby, and used batons, pepper spray and stones during the attack. One of the attackers was carrying a handgun.
Although Israeli forces were aware that the attack was taking place, they arrived only after it ended, shortly after the attackers left the scene. Upon arrival, the Israeli soldiers blocked residents from returning to their lands. The village has endured a surge of attacks by Israeli settlers, and three residents were killed in March 2026.
