West Bank olive harvest settler violence Palestinian farmers Israeli military

Violence has escalated across the West Bank during the olive harvest season, marked by settler attacks and Israeli military operations. In the village of Burqa, near Nablus, a 44-year-old Palestinian man, Ali Hassan Yasser al-Bazzari, was killed during an attack on farmers. At least 16 others were wounded in the incident, with some suffering gunshot wounds and others being beaten. The Palestine Red Crescent Society reported that Israeli forces assaulted ambulance crews and detained three paramedics and a volunteer while attempting to reach the injured.

Across the territory, Palestinian farmers have reported systematic harassment, including physical assaults, pepper spray, and the theft of crops and tools. In other areas, settlers have been reported burning olive trees and vandalizing property. Concurrently, the Israeli military has conducted widespread raids, house searches, and arrests in cities and towns including Ramallah, Hebron, Jenin, Tulkarm, and Qalqilya. In Jerusalem, reports indicated settler incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the demolition of a residential building in Al-Tur, displacing dozens of residents.
