Commission records 21 attacks on olive harvest across seven governorates in one day
West Bank — Settlers carried out 12, the army 8 and one was joint, between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said.
Israeli forces and settlers carried out 21 attacks on farmers, their land and the olive crop in seven governorates between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Wednesday, the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said in an evening report: 12 by settlers, 8 by the army and one joint attack.
They included assaults, detentions, blocking the harvest, theft of olives and equipment, land razing and the uprooting and burning of trees, the commission said. In Beita, a farmer and a 17-year-old were beaten with clubs at Jabal Qmas; in Jinsafut, settlers smashed two electric olive-harvesting machines; in Idhna, troops and settlers forced farmers and activists off land threatened with seizure.
The commission said the targeting of the season undermines farmers’ ability to stay on and use their land, and called for their protection and for those responsible to be held to account.
