Israeli police detained two foreign pro-Palestinian activists, identified as a father and son, on October 21 while they were participating in an olive harvest near the Palestinian village of At-Tuwani, south of Hebron. Following interrogation, the Population and Immigration Authority ordered their deportation from Israel, with a subsequent entry ban.
According to police, the olive picking event was conducted without prior coordination, despite a warning issued to local residents the previous day. When police approached, the participants attempted to flee into a closed military training area. The two foreigners were arrested on suspicion of illegally entering a restricted zone.
Police stated that the olive harvest was supported by the Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq, which Israeli authorities designate as a terrorist organization. The activists were reportedly attempting to gather olives without necessary permits.
