  "account": "Israeli forces assaulted a diplomatic delegation from France, Belgium, and Poland on Saturday in the West Bank town of Taybeh, resulting in injuries. The incident occurred following a ceremony to sign a twinning agreement between the Palestinian town of Taybeh and the French town of Saint-Pierre. The delegation, which included French and Belgian consuls, a Polish representative, and the mayor of Saint-Pierre, was targeted in the western part of the town and Palestinians who were collecting olives. Several residents were hurt, and a vehicle belonging to the Belgian delegation had its window shattered. Israeli Army Radio reported stones being thrown at one of the diplomatic vehicles. French politician Bernard Boudot, mayor of Aulnoy-lez-Valenciennes, was seen on footage lying on the ground after the attack. Israel's Channel 12, citing the military, stated the incident was being investigated, and no arrests had been made. Khourieh called the attack a \"flagrant violation of the sanctity of diplomatic and humanitarian work\" and part of ongoing restrictions on Palestinian farmers. The olive harvest season, which started in early October, has seen a surge in attacks by Israeli forces against Palestinians and their land, providing crucial income for many families.",
