Two Jewish-American women volunteering to assist Palestinian olive farmers in the northern West Bank have been detained by Israeli forces and are being processed for deportation. The women, along with nine other activists, entered the village of Burin, which had recently been declared a closed military zone. While Israeli citizens among the group were released with a temporary ban from the West Bank, the two Americans were taken to an immigration prison after a deportation hearing. This marks the second recent incident involving activists supporting Palestinian farmers being detained for entering restricted areas. The situation has drawn criticism from advocacy groups, who argue that authorities are targeting those aiding farmers rather than addressing violence against them.
