After the most aggressive olive harvest in recent times, this Tuesday a mass of masked settlers have attacked an industrial area in Beit Lid, north of the occupied West Bank. At least four Palestinians have been injured after the group of radicals set cars, fields and several buildings on fire. Between them, they have burned a important factory of dairy products which is a large employer throughout the occupied Palestinian territories.
