IDF Detains Activists Assisting Palestinian Olive Harvest Amid Coordination Dispute

IDF Detains Activists Assisting Palestinian Olive Harvest Amid Coordination Dispute

The IDF detained about 90 foreign volunteers, including a US congressional nominee, in the West Bank on Wednesday while they were helping Palestinians harvest olives. Rabbis for Human Rights claims they had requested coordination for the visit nearly two months prior, but the IDF denies receiving the letter. IDF sources cited security concerns and lack of coordination for the detentions, though they later admitted most of the area did not require military clearance. The incident occurred amid reports of increased Jewish extremist violence against Palestinian farmers.
