Israeli bulldozers cut Palestinian olives
A wave of grief swept over the Palestinians after Israeli military bulldozers destroyed olive trees in their villages, just before the harvest season that usually begins in October. This season is an important source of income and a symbol of Palestinian land. The uprooting caused farmers like Abdul Fattah Tamimi and others to lose their lands and trees, depriving them of their livelihood. It also constitutes a violation of the symbolic significance of the olive tree, which accounts for about 8% of the Palestinian GDP and provides over 60,000 jobs. Human rights organizations reject Israel's justification for the evacuations on security grounds, emphasizing that these actions significantly impact farmers' lives and their rights to the land.
