Violent clashes continued today in the West Bank near the village of Janta, where left-wing activists were attacked by settlers during olive harvest assistance. Activists from various organizations arrived to protect Palestinian residents before being assaulted with pepper spray, stones, and clubs.

Daniel Peled, an activist, stated that they arrived for peaceful work and were attacked by violent settlers from nearby outposts. The military arrived later as tensions escalated across the region.

In a separate incident near Hebron and Tapuach Junction, Palestinians hurled stones at settlers from a nearby outpost. An IDF force that arrived to assist was also targeted, prompting soldiers to open fire while the attackers fled the scene.
