Settlers target olive season in West Bank
Under the title "Olive Harvest Season Under Attack by Settlers... Armed Attacks, Theft of Crops and Livestock, and Arrests in the West Bank," the article discusses the escalating assaults targeting Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest season, which is a main source of income for thousands of families. The attacks include gunfire, burning of trees and vehicles, theft of crops and livestock, as well as physical assaults and injuries among farmers—some of which have resulted in moderate injuries to an elderly woman after an attack by settlers and a vicious dog. Additionally, Israeli occupation forces carried out a widespread arrest campaign targeting around 20 Palestinians, including released prisoners and officials at the Ibrahimi Mosque, in various areas across the West Bank. The forces also continued the use of tear gas and prevented farmers from accessing their lands. Palestinian organizations warn that these attacks cause economic losses and hinder agricultural activity, while the Palestinian presidency has called on the international community to act to protect Palestinian citizens and their property from settler and occupation forces' assaults.
