"My cousin was martyred, and they hit me on the head with an iron bar," a Palestinian farmer from Burqa says after Israeli colonial terrorists, backed by the Israeli occupation army, attacked families harvesting olives on their land in the Ramin plain on Wednesday. Ali Hassan Yusr Al-Bazzari, 44, was killed and 16 others were wounded, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The farmer describes being beaten with clubs, iron tools, guns and stones, and says that when the farmers resisted, the attackers called in more armed colonists, who opened fire.
He says the same gangs were in the area a day earlier, openly stealing olives from the people of Ramin and Bizzariya on land classified as Area A, far from any settlement. The Palestine Red Crescent said Israeli occupation forces beat its paramedics as they tried to reach the wounded, detained three medics and a volunteer, and confiscated the keys to their ambulances. "As long as the olive trees remain," he says, "the Palestinian people remain."
