Bashar Eid, a Palestinian from the village of Burin, was injured this afternoon along with four Israeli activists while trying to harvest olives near his home.

He tells The Times of Israel that settlers threw stones at him and the activists, resulting in an injury to his neck. He was evacuated to a Palestinian hospital, where he is expected to undergo surgery.

Eid recently spoke with The Times of Israel about his repeatedly failed efforts to reach his olive groves. About two weeks ago, the area near his home was declared a closed military zone, with Israeli activists who came to assist him detained and two American volunteers deported from the country as a result.
