Settler Attacks and Military Actions Restrict Agricultural Land Access in West Bank
What happened
Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians in the northern occupied West Bank, resulting in injuries and detentions. In separate incidents, Palestinian women harvesting olives were detained by settlers and Israeli forces. The Palestinian human rights organization Al-Baydar reported that farmers face increasing difficulties accessing agricultural land and collecting crops during the olive harvest season.
Why it matters
The restrictions and attacks prevent Palestinian farmers from accessing their land and harvesting olives safely. This situation highlights increasing difficulties for agricultural workers in the West Bank.
Occupation forces are operating and settler attacks are occurring in the West Bank area involving Jenin and Nablus. Benjamin Netanyahu and Katz ordered wide-scale military operations in the West Bank amid ongoing settler violence.
