SadaNews - Three citizens were injured by settler gunfire today, Saturday, during their attack on the village of Al-Minya, southeast of Bethlehem.

They added that the settlers proceeded to graze their livestock among the olive trees, in a provocative step aimed at displacing the residents and seizing their lands adjacent to the settlements established in the area.

It was noted that the occupation forces were present at the scene and provided protection to the settlers, which heightened the atmosphere of tension and fear among the residents.
