Violence has marred this year's olive harvest in the occupied West Bank, with Palestinian farmers and their families facing attacks and vandalism from Israeli settlers. In the village of Turmus Ayya, a widely circulated video showed a masked settler assaulting a Palestinian woman as she picked olives, while other incidents included burning vehicles and the destruction of olive trees. Witnesses and local officials describe a climate of fear, with many farmers prevented from accessing their land and some activists injured during confrontations. The Palestinian Authority and international observers have condemned the escalating violence, calling for protection for harvesters and accountability for perpetrators. Once a symbol of community and tradition, the olive harvest has become a flashpoint in the ongoing conflict, with expanding settlements and settler violence disrupting rural life across the West Bank.
