About 200 settlers in three groups, some armed and reportedly from Rechalim settlement and the Eyvatar outpost, attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in Yatma, south of Nablus. They fired bullets and threw stones; one Palestinian was injured by a stone and another suffered tear gas inhalation. Israeli forces arrived, fired tear gas and live ammunition in the air and evacuated the farmers without letting them collect their harvest or tools. Farmers later found at least 1,000 kg of olives, 18 ladders and 50 mattresses stolen. Ten families were affected.
