Settlers entered Palestinian-owned land near the village of Abu Falah and attacked local residents along with foreign volunteers who were assisting them, Palestinian media reports.

Videos circulating online show dozens of settlers throwing stones. Another clip shows a Palestinian man holding a stick confronting several settlers while others attempt to separate the sides. In one video, a settler can be heard telling the Palestinian in Arabic, “Go away,” to which the Palestinian replies, also in Arabic, “This is my land.”

According to Palestinian media, one Palestinian and several foreign volunteers are injured after settlers sprayed them with pepper spray.
