Fatata to Raya: Occupation Endangering Oil and Olive Supplies
The article addresses the attacks by occupation forces and settlers on the Palestinian agricultural sector, especially olive trees, at the start of the olive harvest season. It explains that these attacks are increasing year after year, reaching about 200 assaults in 2022 and 441 in 2025, with ongoing attacks since early October 2026. The assaults mainly target harvesters and the harvesting season. Olive trees constitute 55% of the agricultural land and support the livelihoods of around 100,000 families, with investments amounting to billions of dollars. Officials warn that continued attacks threaten a significant decline in olive oil production, which is expected to decrease this year to approximately 21,000 tons from the usual average of 27,000 to 28,000 tons, significantly impacting export quantities. In support of farmers, the ministry has launched programs and initiatives to provide olive seedlings as messages of stability on the ground and to encourage increased planting, along with development projects worth one billion shekels aimed at strengthening farmers' resilience and addressing the assaults.
