Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Six Palestinian farmers have petitioned Israel's High Court of Justice, represented by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, to restore access to their farmland near Nahalin in the West Bank. They claim soldiers and settlers have blocked their access since October 2023 without legal orders, impacting their livelihoods and crops during the olive harvest. The petition argues there is no disclosed legal basis for the restrictions and cites a 2006 ruling against keeping farmers from their land.
