Al-Tiba's olive harvest hit by settler violence
Palestinian farmers in the town of al-Tiba, northeast of Ramallah, are facing a serious escalation by settlers during the olive harvest season. Their lands have been subjected to attacks that include damaging trees, stealing crops, and confiscating agricultural equipment, with the aim of displacing them and reducing olive production, which is their main source of livelihood. These attacks, documented by human rights organizations and totaling more than 136 incidents since the beginning of October 2023, are being exploited by settlers who are taking advantage of the security situation and ignoring military orders. This threatens the olive season and reflects a widespread escalation amid tensions in the West Bank. The town criticizes the Israeli army's closure of the area, which has increased farmers' suffering, as international calls grow for urgent protection to stop these assaults on Palestinian agricultural lands.
