A Palestinian has been killed and 16 others wounded in a pogrom by settlers under the protection of Israeli forces in the northern occupied West Bank, Palestinian authorities said.

Ali Hassan Yasser al-Bazzari, 44, from Burqa, northwest of Nablus, was killed in the attack on Palestinians harvesting olives on farmland near Burqa, west of Nablus, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Wednesday.

Several of those wounded, including a woman, were taken to hospitals in Tulkarem and Nablus, the Wafa news agency reported, citing local sources.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its teams treated five people in the area, including two who suffered gunshot wounds, while the other three were beaten, Wafa reported.

PRCS said Israeli forces also assaulted ambulance crews trying to reach the injured people, and briefly detained three paramedics and a volunteer.

Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim, reporting from Ramallah, said the violence comes amid escalating attacks on Palestinians during the olive harvest season.

“If you just go to pick your olives now … you could not return from the journey. It could be dangerous, not only because of Israeli restrictions against farmers going to their lands, but also because of the armed Israeli settlers who continue to assault Palestinians,” Ibrahim said.

She said the attacks have transformed what is traditionally an important social and economic season for Palestinian families.

“In October, usually Palestinians take days off from their jobs and go to the land, try and pick their olives because this is supposed to be a joyous season,” she added.

Ibrahim said attacks have affected olive farming, with at least 45,000 trees destroyed across the occupied West Bank this year.

Israeli forces and settlers also assaulted several Palestinians harvesting olives near Anata in the central occupied West Bank, Wafa reported.

巴勒斯坦当局称，在以色列军队保护下的定居者在被占领的约旦河西岸北部发动暴乱，造成一名巴勒斯坦人死亡，另有16人受伤。

巴勒斯坦卫生部周三表示，来自纳布卢斯西北部布尔卡的44岁男子阿里·哈桑·亚西尔·巴扎里在纳布卢斯以西布尔卡附近农田发生的袭击事件中丧生，当时巴勒斯坦人正在农田里采摘橄榄。

据瓦法通讯社援引当地消息人士报道，包括一名妇女在内的几名伤者已被送往图勒凯尔姆和纳布卢斯的医院。

据瓦法社报道，巴勒斯坦红新月会（PRCS）表示，其救援队在该地区救治了五人，其中两人遭受枪伤，另外三人遭到殴打。

巴勒斯坦红新月会表示，以色列军队还袭击了试图接近伤者的救护人员，并短暂拘留了三名医护人员和一名志愿者。

半岛电视台记者尼达·易卜拉欣从拉马拉报道称，暴力事件发生之际，巴勒斯坦人正值橄榄收获季节，针对他们的袭击事件不断升级。

“如果你现在就去采摘橄榄……你可能就回不来了。这很危险，不仅因为以色列限制农民前往自己的土地，还因为武装的以色列定居者仍在袭击巴勒斯坦人，”易卜拉欣说。

她说，这些袭击改变了巴勒斯坦家庭历来重要的社会和经济季节。

她补充说：“通常在十月份，巴勒斯坦人会请假到田里去采摘橄榄，因为这本应是一个欢乐的季节。”

易卜拉欣表示，袭击已经影响到橄榄种植业，今年在被占领的西岸地区至少有 45,000 棵橄榄树被毁。

据瓦法通讯社报道，以色列军队和定居者还袭击了在被占领的约旦河西岸中部阿纳塔附近采摘橄榄的几名巴勒斯坦人。
