Palestinians reported two separate violent incidents in the West Bank on October 30, 2026, involving attacks on olive harvesters and residents. Near Ramallah, Palestinian olive pickers and left-wing activists claim they were attacked by settlers, resulting in an Israeli activist suffering a broken nose. Palestinians stated the area, previously taken over by settlers from nearby outposts, has been inaccessible to them for three years, and that olive harvesting there never required coordination.
In a separate incident near Jericho, Palestinian reports allege that settlers and right-wing activists from the Armonot Farm attacked residents who were attempting to protect their homes. The residents were reportedly trying to prevent the settlers from blocking the entrance to their homes with an iron gate they were erecting. According to Palestinian accounts, two residents were injured by iron clubs during the altercation. Israeli forces arrived at the scene.
