Olive Harvest Season Marked by Settler Violence in West Bank

Original: Olive Season as Front Line: Israeli Civilian Violence Follows the Harvest Calendar in Judea and Samaria Each October, Pa

Palestinian farmers across the West Bank, including in 'Aqrsin, Burqa and Masafer Yatta, have begun the annual olive harvest in October, a period that analysts say consistently brings a rise in attacks by Israeli settlers. Reports describe violence following the harvest calendar, with farmers facing intimidation and assault while picking their crops. The story is drawing renewed attention to the risks Palestinian agricultural communities face each harvest season.

Why now: The annual olive harvest has begun, a period when settler violence against Palestinian farmers historically intensifies.
