Evidence

Multiple independent news outlets corroborate this claim as a real, reported event rather than an unverified social media rumor. Reuters itself published the original report (by Mohammed Torokman, dateline Burqa, West Bank, Oct 7) stating a Palestinian olive farmer, identified as Ali Hassan Yusor/al-Bazari (44), was killed during a settler attack on olive harvesters near Burqa village in the occupied West Bank, with 16 others wounded. Al Jazeera, Middle East Eye, L'Orient Today, and the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported the same incident, with witnesses quoted saying Israeli soldiers accompanied or protected the settlers and blocked ambulances from reaching the wounded. Reuters' report also noted that Israeli military said soldiers were responding to a report of a Palestinian throwing a rock, and that Reuters journalists had themselves witnessed several similar incidents in preceding weeks. I found no specific AFP Fact Check, Bellingcat, or EUvsDisinfo investigation of this exact claim, which appears to be straightforward wire-service news reporting rather than a contested viral claim requiring forensic verification.
