Palestinians reported that masked individuals attacked olive harvesters and left-wing activists near Ramallah on October 30, 2026, resulting in an Israeli activist suffering a broken nose. In a separate incident near Jericho, settlers are accused of assaulting residents with iron bars, injuring two Palestinians. According to Palestinian sources, the area where the first incident occurred has been inaccessible to them for three years due to settlers from nearby outposts taking control of it. They also stated that coordinating olive harvests in this location has never been required previously.
The second incident reportedly took place near the village of Ein Duk, close to Jericho. Palestinian reports claim that settlers and right-wing activists from the Armonot Farm attacked residents who were attempting to protect their homes from being blocked by an iron gate being erected by the settlers and activists. Palestinians allege that two residents sustained injuries from iron bars during the altercation.
