The Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission recorded at least 19 settler attacks across the occupied West Bank on Friday, including assaults on olive harvesters, damage to groves, crop and livestock theft, and a vehicle burning. Israeli forces separately detained 16 Palestinians, Al Jazeera reported.
