Israeli police detained two Israeli activists in Judea and Samaria on October 12, 2026, on suspicion of assaulting a settler near the Michtam LeDavid farm, close to the Palestinian village of Duma, south of Nablus. The incident occurred during the olive harvest.
A right-wing news outlet reported that three activists beat the settler with fists, feet, and a stick. However, representatives from the "Eyes of the Occupation" organization stated their members were present to assist Palestinians with their harvest. They claim a settler attempted to attack two Palestinian women carrying sacks of olives, and the activists intervened by pushing him away.
One of the detainees was identified as retired brigadier general Yoel Feldshuh, a former fighter pilot. He was released after questioning. The second suspect, a member of the organization, remains under investigation. Police stated that Israeli forces dispersed the participants before law enforcement arrived. The circumstances of the event and the differing accounts require further investigation.
