Arrests and theft of farm equipment: Israeli attacks hit the olive season in the West Bank

West Bank, Palestine ·

Israeli soldiers and settlers attacked Palestinian farmers picking olives in several areas of the occupied West Bank on Saturday. One farmer was detained, agricultural equipment was seized, and others were forced off their land at gunpoint. The attacks reached three governorates: Ramallah in the centre, and Hebron and Bethlehem in the south.

Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967, and its settlements there are considered illegal under international law. The autumn olive harvest is an important source of income for Palestinian farmers, and access to farmland has often been a source of tension.
