Palestinians reported 19 settler attacks across the West Bank on Friday during the olive harvest season. The incidents included arson, uprooting of olive trees, theft of agricultural produce and livestock, and stone-throwing at Palestinian vehicles. In one instance near Nablus, a car was set ablaze, and over 50 olive trees were uprooted in the village of Qusra. Near Salfit, live fire was reportedly directed at farmers, injuring one. In the Ramallah area, settlers allegedly blocked a road, attacked a Palestinian man and his son, and stole their vehicle. Palestinian officials condemned the attacks, stating they aim to prevent Palestinians from cultivating their land and to displace them. They called on the international community to protect Palestinians and prosecute those involved. The article also details other incidents from the past week, including an attempted ramming attack on IDF soldiers near Hebron, an arson attack on a farm in the Benjamin region, and stone-throwing and property damage in the southern Hebron hills. The start of the olive harvest season annually brings increased tensions between settlers and Palestinians, exacerbated this year by the establishment of new agricultural outposts bordering Palestinian farmlands.
