At the same time as the olive harvest season in the West Bank, the attacks by captive settlers on Palestinian farmers and the theft of their products increased greatly.

The Israeli human rights organization Yesh Din announced that in the first 24 days of the harvest season, 125 cases of physical land attacks on Palestinian farmers and 168 cases of theft of olive crops were recorded.

Palestinian farmers say the settlers pick their olives and take them to their oil factories.

Dozens of Jewish settlers set fire to olive trees and threw stones at Palestinians in a coordinated ground attack on the annual olive harvest ceremony in a West Bank village on Friday the 24th. This ground attack injured at least two people, including a news cameraman.
