The Israeli military (IDF) intervened to halt an uncoordinated olive harvest near the settlement of Beitar Illit in the Gush Etzion region on Tuesday. Dozens of people arrived with harvesters for the event, which took place in an area requiring prior coordination with relevant authorities to ensure security and public order. The IDF, along with Border Police and Judea and Samaria District police, arrived at the scene due to the security risks associated with an uncoordinated harvest near an Israeli community. Those present were detained, and the landowner was informed of the need to coordinate future harvests, with contact information provided. The military emphasized that approved olive harvests are ongoing in the region. To date, approximately 100 coordinated harvests have taken place across Judea and Samaria, yielding tens of thousands of tons of olives, with security forces providing protection and coordination, and no unusual incidents reported. In coordinated harvest zones, only harvesters will be permitted access for their specific purpose. Security forces are working to ensure a normal and safe olive harvest season, while also carrying out their defense and counter-terrorism missions.
