Palestinian Authority-affiliated individuals led hundreds of activists and militants to a confrontation with Israelis near the village of Abu Falah in the Benjamin region on Friday, under the guise of the olive harvest. Video footage from the scene shows militants firing fireworks directly and throwing stones at Israelis, with journalists documenting the staged provocation behind them. The Palestinian Authority's vehicles were visibly present, despite the area being designated as Area B, where Israel holds security responsibility. Clashes erupted between Arabs and Israelis, and were eventually dispersed by a Border Police force. Reports indicate several activists were injured during the confrontations. The Benjamin Regional Council had previously warned of extremist left-wing activists intending to visit sites in Benjamin to instigate clashes during the olive harvest, as part of a campaign against settler violence.
