Palestinian killed, 16 wounded in Israeli pogrom in occupied West Bank
A 44-year-old Palestinian man was killed during Israeli settler assaults on olive harvesters in the West Bank.
On October 7, 2026, a Palestinian man named Ali Hassan al-Bazari was killed and nine others sustained injuries during an attack by Israeli settlers on olive farmers near Burqa, a town in the West Bank. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, al-Bazari was killed while harvesting olives in the area between Burqa and the Ramin Plain.
Witnesses reported that Israeli soldiers were present and protected the settlers during the attack. The Israeli army also allegedly prevented ambulances from reaching the wounded, detained medical personnel, and threatened to shoot anyone who approached the scene. The incident has raised concerns about the escalation of settler violence against Palestinians, particularly during the olive harvest season.
