The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) detained Yehonatan Pollak, an activist who describes himself as an anarchist, on Thursday for allegedly violating an order declaring an area near the Palestinian village of Kfar Tappuah in the Samaria region a closed military zone. Pollak was detained along with Roman Levin, described as a "conscientious objector."

The incident occurred during the olive harvest season, which has previously been the backdrop for a physical confrontation between Pollak and an IDF soldier, according to the report. The olive harvest is cited as the reason for the current detention as well.
