Settler Attacks Disrupt Olive Harvest Season in the West Bank

Palestinian farmers in the village of Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah, returned to their lands after being denied access for over a year, only to be met with restrictive measures by occupation forces.

The occupation forces pursued the farmers, checked the identification of journalists present, and expelled peace activists and foreign solidarity volunteers.

These actions culminated in forcing the farmers to leave their lands, preventing them from harvesting their olives, which remained hanging on the trees.

In a separate incident in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, settlers set fire to ancient olive trees.

These practices are part of a series of attacks targeting the agricultural season, causing significant damage to the remaining olive trees across various areas of the West Bank.
