Today, me and another ISMer started again picking in Zawata, but soon we were called to move to Kafr Qalil, next to the Huwara checkpoint. Yesterday, six villagers were injured by a crowd of approx. 30 settlers , using wooden sticks and fists, while they were harvesting very close to the settlement of Brachah (Maan News). The Rabbis for Human Rights - an israeli HR-organisation with whom we are cooperating - were accompanying them untill noon, but then they left (presumeably because of Sabbath) the place and the settlers felt confident to attack them. According to the villagers two soldiers were standing just 50 meters away, but did not interfere untill more soldiers arrived from a military base just 1 km away, what also took them about 20 minutes.

When we were there (and we stayed untill all farmers returned home), we could harvest without any incident, but the area was not as close to the settlement.
