These incidents follow a surge of violence, including 19 attacks in a single morning and 12 attacks on a recent Saturday. The Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reported that settlers stole 20 sheep in Ein Qiniya, cut down 100 olive trees in Al-Mughayyir, and uprooted over 50 trees in Qusra. While Israeli forces have fired live ammunition and tear gas at farmers, the Israeli government has provided tens of millions of dollars to arm and expand settler sheep farms, a development that analyst Barak Ravid says the Trump administration has largely ignored.
