Israeli settlers launched attacks on Palestinian olive pickers in the occupied West Bank, according to a report from the Middle East Eye and agencies on October 19th.

Meanwhile, on October 19th, Israeli forces killed 42-year-old Majed Mohammad Dawoud during an early morning raid on the al-Ain refugee camp in Nablus, the Palestinian ministry of health said.
