West Bank Olive Trees Damaged
Olive trees in the West Bank have witnessed an escalation in cutting, smashing, and theft of crops by settlers and the Israeli occupation. The Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture recorded the destruction of nearly 98,000 olive trees since the beginning of 2026, compared to about 24,000 in 2023 and 94,000 in 2025. These acts have been carried out through military orders to remove vegetation, along with assaults that include uprooting trees, breaking branches, and stealing the harvest. This poses a threat to the income of Palestinian families and increases the suffering of farmers, especially amidst the economic crisis and rising unemployment rates. The attacks began before the scheduled olive harvest season on October 15, and the losses have intensified due to the prohibition of farmers from accessing their lands and, in some cases, being shot at.
