On Friday, 19 December 2025, at around 4:30 P.M., while five residents of Beit Furik were plowing and doing other work on their land north of the town, about four settlers, at least one of them armed with a rifle, arrived from the direction of an outpost established about four months earlier about a kilometer to the northeast. The settlers tried to stop one of the farmers from plowing his plot, an area of about three dunam (1 dunam = 0.1 hectares), pushed him and tried to force him off the tractor. The other four farmers approached to help him, and then one of the settlers fired in the air.
Shortly after, a military jeep arrived, and the soldiers ordered the five farmers to sit on the ground, confiscated their phones, pushed and beat them. The settlers also beat the farmers in front of the soldiers. Meanwhile, more soldiers arrived in several military vehicles, threw stun grenades at other Palestinian residents who had rushed over to help the farmers, forcing them to retreat into the village. The soldiers handcuffed the five farmers and took them in a military vehicle to the Furik checkpoint.
At the checkpoint, the soldiers blindfolded them, threw them on the ground and held them there until 8:00 P.M., kicking and cursing them at random. Starting at 8:00 P.M., the soldiers began releasing the detainees one by one at 15-minute intervals.
After being released, two of the farmers tried to return to their land to retrieve the tractor that had been left there but left when a settler vehicle approached the site. The next morning, the farmers tried again to retrieve the tractor and discovered that the settlers had poured sugar into its fuel tank and cut the fuel pipes, disabling it.
