Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters. On November 7 dozens of soldiers and police officers from the Border Police prevent harvesting in olive groves, in Um Nir, near Susya, Masafer Yatta.

Faqoua village councilor Munir Barakat told AFP that “an Israeli in military clothing arrived at the place in a white car and fired about 10 bullets at the Abu Salama family, who were picking olives on their land". Local sources reported that the colonists attacked citizens while they were attending their lands and picking olives in the village of Rojib , sprayed them with pepper gas, and forced them to leave. In a related context, an Israeli colonist also attacked a citizen while he was picking olives in the village of Madama, south of Nablus , preventing him from completing his work, and forcing him to leave his land.

UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

Settlers force Palestinian farmers off their land during the olive harvest in Al-Mughayyir [Original post] The farmers are forced out from their lands in Al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah. [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Terror, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: @MyLordBebo] [Location: West Bank > Ramallah > Al-Mughayyir] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters.

Faqoua village councilor Munir Barakat told AFP that “an Israeli in military clothing arrived at the place in a white car and fired about 10 bullets at the Abu Salama family, who were picking olives on their land". Local sources reported that the colonists attacked citizens while they were attending their lands and picking olives in the village of Rojib , sprayed them with pepper gas, and forced them to leave. In a related context, an Israeli colonist also attacked a citizen while he was picking olives in the village of Madama, south of Nablus , preventing him from completing his work, and forcing him to leave his land.

They detained farmers for an hour while the settlers sabotaged the olive grove. On September 12 : Settlers from the Rehelim area set fire to olive trees and agricultural equipment in the village of Yatma. The fires are still burning. UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned.

During the following hours, the toll of killed and wounded increases by the minute. The dismembered bodies and human remains are brought in at the same time as the injured. In the afternoon, there are 28 martyrs, as first toll, and dozens of injured.

Testimony of the distress and chaos inside the school and in the hospital : According to one of Al Jazeera correspondant "People search the bodies for family members after Israeli attack on school shelter. We’re still seeing more of the surviving family members who rushed to the hospital to check for their children and check for their family members to see if they were among the casualties or not. Some of them are still missing. We saw one mother going through the bodies, just looking for anything that could lead to the body of her son. She said there is a birthmark – that she’s going to continue to search. Another person was looking for the body of his wife, who happened to be at that evacuation centre when it was targeted.

Perfidy to lead an extrajudicial execution Media sources said that an undercover Israeli unit (Musta’ribeen) infiltrated the eastern area of Nablus city, on Wednesday afternoon, and fired many live rounds at a vehicle, executing all four men inside.The Arab 48 News website quoted witnesses who said that “the sounds of heavy gunfire were heard near the eastern market in Nablus, and then soldiers were seen who were apparently riding in a civilian vehicle and wearing civilian clothes, firing at a Palestinian civilian vehicle from all sides.” The army sent several military reinforcements to Nablus city from Jerusalem Street, to facilitate the special forces’ withdrawal from Faisal Street. **Perfidy **is specifically prohibited under the 1977 Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, which states 1. It is prohibited to kill, injure or capture an adversary by resort to perfidy. Acts inviting the confidence of an adversary to lead him to believe that he is entitled to, or is obliged to accord, protection under the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, with intent to betray that confidence, shall constitute perfidy. The following acts are examples of perfidy: (...) (c) The feigning of civilian, non-combatant status. “Perfidy involves the killing or injury of an adversary in a manner that first invites but then betrays their confidence in a protection offered by the law of armed conflict,” says Sari. “In the present case, feigning to be medical personnel or civilians, both of whom enjoy protections under the law [would be perfidious].” Israel is one of the few countries (and the U.S. is another) that has not ratified Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, a 1977 amendment that specifically bans perfidy. However, perfidy is also illegal under customary international law. Sari points out that the Israeli Supreme Court has accepted that Israel is bound by customary international law. Sources : Hamas statement It quoted the Islamic Resistance movement Hamas, who called the Israeli assassination operation, a “heinous Zionist crime added to the occupation’s record of terrorism,” affirming that “the resistance in Nablus and all the governorates of the West Bank will remain unbreakable” despite “the brutality of the occupation.” Casualties : The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain men as Issam Mohammad Suleiman Salaj, 30 Abdul Halim Mohammad Nasser, 43 Salim Izz al-Din Mahmoud Abu Saada, 40 Naim Mohammad Raji Abdul Hadi, 32. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said their ambulance crews transported the bodies of the slain men to the Rafidia Governmental Hospital in Nablus, in addition to a young man who sustained injuries to the head and chest as a result of shrapnel from live rounds.

Palestinian farmers' access to their farmlands restricted and many are exposed to settler violence [Original post] #WestBank: 🚫 During the olive harvest, Palestinian farmers' access to their farmlands is often restricted and many are exposed to settler violence. Humanitarian Coordinator @HadiMuhannad shares how the @UN and partners are supporting farmers, with funding from @CBPFs. [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: UNOCHA] [Location: West Bank] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters. On November 7 dozens of soldiers and police officers from the Border Police prevent harvesting in olive groves, in Um Nir, near Susya, Masafer Yatta. On November 4 in Burqa, Settlers invaded a Palestinian land to burn their olive trees. Two farmers defend their land by throwing stones on the settlers who are lightly wounded. On November 2 Under the protection of Israeli forces, settlers attacked farmers while they were picking olives in Qaryut village, south of Nablus. On October 30 Israeli settlers chopped off hundreds of olive trees in Qaryut near Nablus. On October 28 Israeli settlers storm agricultural lands near Ramallah and set fire to olive trees. On October 27 In the morning - a Palestinian's car is burned while picking olives near the town of Kablan, southeast of Nablus. In the evening - in the square at the entrance to Huwara, same governorate, soldiers or settlers, raided the area. On October 26 In Hebron / Al-Khalil, Israeli Jewish settlers attacked a Palestinian family during the olives harvest in Hebron, stoling the olives & sheets which the family use to pick the olive. On October 25 Beit Jala area, Israeli army prevents Palestinians from harvesting olives on private land, using stun grenades at close range against activists assisting with the harvest. EU and allied diplomatic officials joined Palestinian youth in olive harvesting at Kufr Nimeh to show solidarity amid rising settler attacks. Since October 1st, settlers have reportedly vandalized, burned, or cut down about 600 olive trees in 15 West Bank communities. UNOCHA recorded 51 settler-related incidents affecting 57 communities. EU Statement : The EU urged Israel to protect Palestinian farmers and ensure a safe harvest, stressing that perpetrators of violence, harassment, and intimidation should be held accountable. On October 22 A large groups of settlers carried out a progrom against the residents of Jalud, a village near Nablus . They set fire to homes, vandalized vehicles, killed livestock, and and physically assaulted villagers. 2 Palestinians were injured in the face and another suffered a skull fracture during the attack. Sheep were slaughtered On october 20 In Burqa , near Ramallah, soldiers prevented the olive harvest by using stun grenades and making threats. As the soldiers attempted to evict the locals, masked settlers armed with batons approached. On October 18 Settlers open fire and launch tear gas at residents and volunteers harvesting olives in Kafr al-Labad , east of Tulkarm A settler attack on the residents in Susiya village, Masafer Yatta , one solidarity activist was injured. Since the start of the Olive Harvest, attacks have been non-stop and increasing, while soldiers watch and protect the settlers and facilitate the attacks. In the middle of the night settlers snuck into olive groves in Burin , near Nablus, and stole their equipment. An armed Israeli settler in IDF uniform threatens Palestinians after storming their land during olive picking in the village of Ramin , Tulkarm, West Bank. On october 17 : Hanan Abdel Rahman Abu Salama, 59, was killed by Israeli fire as she was picking olives near the security barrier in the West Bank village of Faqoua near Jenin , on October 17, 2024. The Israel Defense Forces has suspended a deputy commander in its 334th Battalion and opened an investigation. Faqoua village councilor Munir Barakat told AFP that “an Israeli in military clothing arrived at the place in a white car and fired about 10 bullets at the Abu Salama family, who were picking olives on their land". Local sources reported that the colonists attacked citizens while they were attending their lands and picking olives in the village of Rojib , sprayed them with pepper gas, and forced them to leave. In a related context, an Israeli colonist also attacked a citizen while he was picking olives in the village of Madama, south of Nablus , preventing him from completing his work, and forcing him to leave his land. Qusra , Israeli settlers further forced citizens to leave the olive fields, and seized a vehicle used to transport them and transport the olives after the harvest. On October 13 : Burin just outside Nablus, teenage settlers are beating olive trees and stealing crops from Palestinians. On october 12 Settlers set the village of Al-Mughayyir , north of Ramallah on fire to burn down agricultural crops and olive trees. Armed settlers assault farmers and block them from harvesting olives; Settler militias assault farmers during olive harvesting in Turmus Ayya , north of Ramallah On October 5: in Al-Luban al-Gharbiyya (اللبّن الغربيّة), Ramallah district - Al-Bira, occupied West Bank, Hasem Salama and his family were attacked by over 50 masked and armed Israeli settlers while harvesting olives. 11 Palestinians were injured, including women and a 7-year-old child. The settlers used iron pipes, causing bone fractures and severe injuries; Salama himself suffered leg wounds and was unable to stand. On September 28 : Armed settlers raided our land in Tuwani, Masafer Yatta, deliberately destroying olive crop using a herd of sheep, under protection of armed settler soldiers. They detained farmers for an hour while the settlers sabotaged the olive grove. On September 12 : Settlers from the Rehelim area set fire to olive trees and agricultural equipment in the village of Yatma. The fires are still burning. UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

Several Sri Lankan peacekeepers were injured in another Israeli attack targeting the UNIFIL headquarters [Original post] Lebanon’s National News Agency reports that several Sri Lankan peacekeepers were injured in another Israeli attack targeting the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) headquarters in southern Lebanon. According to the report, an Israeli Merkava tank targeted one of UNIFIL’s observation towers along the main road connecting Tyre to Naqoura, near a Lebanese Army checkpoint, injuring the Sri Lankan contingent stationed at the site. In response, France has summoned the Israeli ambassador following these attacks. [Tags: Conquest, Threat, Vehicles, Evacuation Order, Impunity, Artillery shelling, Peacekeepers] [Found by: Quds News Network] [Location: Lebanon > South Lebanon > Naqoura > Tyre] [Archivist Notes] UNIFIL has been active in south Lebanon since 1978, primarily to monitor ceasefires and facilitate humanitarian access.Any deliberate attack on the UN personnel and property is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Resolution 1701. Israel has accused UNIFIL of failing to enforce Resolution 1701, which calls for a ceasefire and Hezbollah's disarmament. Israeli officials argue UNIFIL has not adequately restrained Hezbollah, while experts counter that both sides have violated the resolution's terms. Israeli leaders have expressed frustrations, calling UNIFIL a “human shield” for Hezbollah. Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for UNIFIL's withdrawal, stating it enables Hezbollah’s operations. Israeli rhetoric increasingly portrays UNIFIL as colluding with Hezbollah, feeding into a “dangerous and inaccurate” anti-UN narrative. This perception may impact future peacekeeping stability in the region. While heavy Israeli airstrikes have devastated southern Lebanon, flattening towns, killing over 2,574 people, and injuring more than 12,000 as of October. A leaked report shows Israel’s use of incendiary white phosphorus near UNIFIL bases, injuring 15 peacekeepers. Other reported incidents include direct fire on UNIFIL positions, demolitions of observation towers, and forcible entry into UNIFIL compounds. Rights groups warn that Israel's actions could amount to war crimes. UNIFIL has been active in south Lebanon since 1978, primarily to monitor ceasefires and facilitate humanitarian access. Source Chronology Chronology of important events from October 1 to October 20, 2024, regarding the incidents involving Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) October 1, 2024 Israel begins an invasion of Southern Lebanon, accompanied by airstrikes targeting locations throughout Lebanon. UNIFIL Non-Intervention: UNIFIL forces do not intervene and remain in their positions. October 4, 2024 IDF Orders Irish UNIFIL Withdrawal: IDF requests Irish UNIFIL personnel to vacate a position; both UNIFIL representatives and the Irish government decline. October 9, 2024 Disabling of UN Surveillance Systems: IDF soldiers reportedly disable video surveillance, lighting systems, and a radio repeater at UNIFIL bases UNP 1-31 and UNP 1-32A in South Lebanon through small arms fire. October 10, 2024 IDF Fires on UNIFIL Positions: Israeli troops open fire on three UNIFIL positions, including the main base in Naqoura. Two Indonesian peacekeepers are injured when an Israeli tank fires on an observation tower. IDF demands the immediate withdrawal of all UNIFIL personnel within 5 km of the Israel-Lebanon border; contributing countries decline the request. October 11, 2024 IDF attacks the Naqoura base again, injuring two Sri Lankan peacekeepers and damaging the perimeter wall. UNIFIL bases suffer heavy damage during clashes between IDF and Hezbollah. International Condemnation: France, Italy, and Spain release a joint statement condemning the attacks; the U.S. government calls on Israel to cease attacks on UNIFIL bases. UN Response: The United Nations terms the incident a "serious development." October 12, 2024 Another Indonesian peacekeeper is injured by Israeli fire. Condemnation by 44 Nations: Poland, joined by 43 other countries, condemns Israel’s attacks on UNIFIL, calling for a halt to attacks and protections for UN personnel. Countries include the UK, Germany, France, Italy, India, and others. October 13, 2024 Two IDF Merkava tanks reportedly breach a UNIFIL position, destroying the gate and staying for 45 minutes despite objections. Within an hour after the tanks depart, white phosphorus munitions are fired within 100 meters of the base, injuring 15 peacekeepers. Further International Condemnation: 40 countries issue a joint statement condemning the IDF's actions against UNIFIL personnel and positions. October 18 Peacekeepers in Meiss ej Jebel ran out of water after weeks without resupply. Access to positions near the Blue Line has been tough. While most positions have enough food and water for over 10 days, this one hadn’t received supplies since 29 Sept due to blocked roads. After delays from clearing the roads due to active fighting and warnings from the IDF of military activities, the position was finally resupplied on October 18 with food, water and essentials, allowing peacekeepers to continue their work. October 20, 2024 Attack on UNIFIL Base in Marwahin: IDF attacks a UNIFIL base in Marwahin, demolishing an observation tower and perimeter fence with a bulldozer. October 22, 2024 On 22 October, peacekeepers on duty at a permanent observation post near Dhayra were observing IDF soldiers conducting house clearing operations nearby. Upon realizing they were being observed, the IDF soldiers fired at the post. The duty guards withdrew to avoid being shot. Unifil statement :* "The IDF has repeatedly demanded that UNIFIL vacate its positions along the Blue Line and has deliberately damaged camera, lighting, and communications equipment at some of these positions. Despite the pressure being exerted on the mission and our troop-contributing countries, peacekeepers remain in position and on task. We will continue to undertake our mandated tasks to monitor and report. We remind the IDF and all actors of their obligations to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property. Any deliberate attack on them is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Resolution 1701."* November 7, 2024 A UNIFIL convoy bringing newly-arrived peacekeepers to south Lebanon was passing Saida when a drone strike occurred nearby. Five peacekeepers were lightly injured and treated by the Lebanese Red Cross on the spot. They will continue to their posts.

A general strike has been declared in Nablus tomorrow in protest of the assassination by Israel of 4 men. [Original post] Nablus | West Bank 🚨 A general strike has been declared in Nablus tomorrow in protest of the occupation’s assassination of four resistance fighters. 🛑 Martyrs of the operation: •Naim Abdul Hadi •Saleem Abu Saada •Issam Al-Salaj •Abdul Al-Sarfandi (Al-Shahta) [Tags: Perfidy, Massacre, Extrajudicial execution, Mista'arvim (Musta’ribeen)] [Found by: West Bank Observer] [Location: West Bank > Nablus] [Archivist Notes] On october 9 , On Wednesday, Israeli special forces assassinated four Palestinian young men, and injured one, after targeting their vehicle in the northern West Bank city of Nablus. Perfidy to lead an extrajudicial execution Media sources said that an undercover Israeli unit (Musta’ribeen) infiltrated the eastern area of Nablus city, on Wednesday afternoon, and fired many live rounds at a vehicle, executing all four men inside.The Arab 48 News website quoted witnesses who said that “the sounds of heavy gunfire were heard near the eastern market in Nablus, and then soldiers were seen who were apparently riding in a civilian vehicle and wearing civilian clothes, firing at a Palestinian civilian vehicle from all sides.” The army sent several military reinforcements to Nablus city from Jerusalem Street, to facilitate the special forces’ withdrawal from Faisal Street. **Perfidy **is specifically prohibited under the 1977 Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, which states 1. It is prohibited to kill, injure or capture an adversary by resort to perfidy. Acts inviting the confidence of an adversary to lead him to believe that he is entitled to, or is obliged to accord, protection under the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, with intent to betray that confidence, shall constitute perfidy. The following acts are examples of perfidy: (...) (c) The feigning of civilian, non-combatant status. “Perfidy involves the killing or injury of an adversary in a manner that first invites but then betrays their confidence in a protection offered by the law of armed conflict,” says Sari. “In the present case, feigning to be medical personnel or civilians, both of whom enjoy protections under the law [would be perfidious].” Israel is one of the few countries (and the U.S. is another) that has not ratified Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, a 1977 amendment that specifically bans perfidy. However, perfidy is also illegal under customary international law. Sari points out that the Israeli Supreme Court has accepted that Israel is bound by customary international law. Sources : Hamas statement It quoted the Islamic Resistance movement Hamas, who called the Israeli assassination operation, a “heinous Zionist crime added to the occupation’s record of terrorism,” affirming that “the resistance in Nablus and all the governorates of the West Bank will remain unbreakable” despite “the brutality of the occupation.” Casualties : The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain men as Issam Mohammad Suleiman Salaj, 30 Abdul Halim Mohammad Nasser, 43 Salim Izz al-Din Mahmoud Abu Saada, 40 Naim Mohammad Raji Abdul Hadi, 32.

Preventing settlers violence against vital olive harvest in the West Bank [Original post] Today is the official start of the olive harvest in the #WestBank. The olive harvest is vital for many Palestinian families, but in 2023, violence and restrictions devastated their livelihoods. We are responding, providing emergency aid to 14,000 people and reaching 233,000 across the West Bank since October. [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: @WorldVision] [Location: West Bank] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters. On November 7 dozens of soldiers and police officers from the Border Police prevent harvesting in olive groves, in Um Nir, near Susya, Masafer Yatta. On November 4 in Burqa, Settlers invaded a Palestinian land to burn their olive trees. Two farmers defend their land by throwing stones on the settlers who are lightly wounded. On November 2 Under the protection of Israeli forces, settlers attacked farmers while they were picking olives in Qaryut village, south of Nablus. On October 30 Israeli settlers chopped off hundreds of olive trees in Qaryut near Nablus. On October 28 Israeli settlers storm agricultural lands near Ramallah and set fire to olive trees. On October 27 In the morning - a Palestinian's car is burned while picking olives near the town of Kablan, southeast of Nablus. In the evening - in the square at the entrance to Huwara, same governorate, soldiers or settlers, raided the area. On October 26 In Hebron / Al-Khalil, Israeli Jewish settlers attacked a Palestinian family during the olives harvest in Hebron, stoling the olives & sheets which the family use to pick the olive. On October 25 Beit Jala area, Israeli army prevents Palestinians from harvesting olives on private land, using stun grenades at close range against activists assisting with the harvest. EU and allied diplomatic officials joined Palestinian youth in olive harvesting at Kufr Nimeh to show solidarity amid rising settler attacks. Since October 1st, settlers have reportedly vandalized, burned, or cut down about 600 olive trees in 15 West Bank communities. UNOCHA recorded 51 settler-related incidents affecting 57 communities. EU Statement : The EU urged Israel to protect Palestinian farmers and ensure a safe harvest, stressing that perpetrators of violence, harassment, and intimidation should be held accountable. On October 22 A large groups of settlers carried out a progrom against the residents of Jalud, a village near Nablus . They set fire to homes, vandalized vehicles, killed livestock, and and physically assaulted villagers. 2 Palestinians were injured in the face and another suffered a skull fracture during the attack. Sheep were slaughtered On october 20 In Burqa , near Ramallah, soldiers prevented the olive harvest by using stun grenades and making threats. As the soldiers attempted to evict the locals, masked settlers armed with batons approached. On October 18 Settlers open fire and launch tear gas at residents and volunteers harvesting olives in Kafr al-Labad , east of Tulkarm A settler attack on the residents in Susiya village, Masafer Yatta , one solidarity activist was injured. Since the start of the Olive Harvest, attacks have been non-stop and increasing, while soldiers watch and protect the settlers and facilitate the attacks. In the middle of the night settlers snuck into olive groves in Burin , near Nablus, and stole their equipment. An armed Israeli settler in IDF uniform threatens Palestinians after storming their land during olive picking in the village of Ramin , Tulkarm, West Bank. On october 17 : Hanan Abdel Rahman Abu Salama, 59, was killed by Israeli fire as she was picking olives near the security barrier in the West Bank village of Faqoua near Jenin , on October 17, 2024. The Israel Defense Forces has suspended a deputy commander in its 334th Battalion and opened an investigation. Faqoua village councilor Munir Barakat told AFP that “an Israeli in military clothing arrived at the place in a white car and fired about 10 bullets at the Abu Salama family, who were picking olives on their land". Local sources reported that the colonists attacked citizens while they were attending their lands and picking olives in the village of Rojib , sprayed them with pepper gas, and forced them to leave. In a related context, an Israeli colonist also attacked a citizen while he was picking olives in the village of Madama, south of Nablus , preventing him from completing his work, and forcing him to leave his land. Qusra , Israeli settlers further forced citizens to leave the olive fields, and seized a vehicle used to transport them and transport the olives after the harvest. On October 13 : Burin just outside Nablus, teenage settlers are beating olive trees and stealing crops from Palestinians. On october 12 Settlers set the village of Al-Mughayyir , north of Ramallah on fire to burn down agricultural crops and olive trees. Armed settlers assault farmers and block them from harvesting olives; Settler militias assault farmers during olive harvesting in Turmus Ayya , north of Ramallah On October 5: in Al-Luban al-Gharbiyya (اللبّن الغربيّة), Ramallah district - Al-Bira, occupied West Bank, Hasem Salama and his family were attacked by over 50 masked and armed Israeli settlers while harvesting olives. 11 Palestinians were injured, including women and a 7-year-old child. The settlers used iron pipes, causing bone fractures and severe injuries; Salama himself suffered leg wounds and was unable to stand. On September 28 : Armed settlers raided our land in Tuwani, Masafer Yatta, deliberately destroying olive crop using a herd of sheep, under protection of armed settler soldiers. They detained farmers for an hour while the settlers sabotaged the olive grove. On September 12 : Settlers from the Rehelim area set fire to olive trees and agricultural equipment in the village of Yatma. The fires are still burning. UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

Red Crescent: 4 Palestinian martyrs shot by Israeli special forces in Nablus [Original post] Nablus | West Bank 🚨 Red Crescent: 4 Palestinian martyrs shot by Israeli special forces in Nablus [Tags: Perfidy, Massacre, Extrajudicial execution, Mista'arvim (Musta’ribeen)] [Found by: West Bank Observer] [Location: West Bank > Nablus] [Archivist Notes] On october 9 , On Wednesday, Israeli special forces assassinated four Palestinian young men, and injured one, after targeting their vehicle in the northern West Bank city of Nablus. Perfidy to lead an extrajudicial execution Media sources said that an undercover Israeli unit (Musta’ribeen) infiltrated the eastern area of Nablus city, on Wednesday afternoon, and fired many live rounds at a vehicle, executing all four men inside.The Arab 48 News website quoted witnesses who said that “the sounds of heavy gunfire were heard near the eastern market in Nablus, and then soldiers were seen who were apparently riding in a civilian vehicle and wearing civilian clothes, firing at a Palestinian civilian vehicle from all sides.” The army sent several military reinforcements to Nablus city from Jerusalem Street, to facilitate the special forces’ withdrawal from Faisal Street. **Perfidy **is specifically prohibited under the 1977 Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, which states 1. It is prohibited to kill, injure or capture an adversary by resort to perfidy. Acts inviting the confidence of an adversary to lead him to believe that he is entitled to, or is obliged to accord, protection under the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, with intent to betray that confidence, shall constitute perfidy. The following acts are examples of perfidy: (...) (c) The feigning of civilian, non-combatant status. “Perfidy involves the killing or injury of an adversary in a manner that first invites but then betrays their confidence in a protection offered by the law of armed conflict,” says Sari. “In the present case, feigning to be medical personnel or civilians, both of whom enjoy protections under the law [would be perfidious].” Israel is one of the few countries (and the U.S. is another) that has not ratified Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, a 1977 amendment that specifically bans perfidy. However, perfidy is also illegal under customary international law. Sari points out that the Israeli Supreme Court has accepted that Israel is bound by customary international law. Sources : Hamas statement It quoted the Islamic Resistance movement Hamas, who called the Israeli assassination operation, a “heinous Zionist crime added to the occupation’s record of terrorism,” affirming that “the resistance in Nablus and all the governorates of the West Bank will remain unbreakable” despite “the brutality of the occupation.” Casualties : The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain men as Issam Mohammad Suleiman Salaj, 30 Abdul Halim Mohammad Nasser, 43 Salim Izz al-Din Mahmoud Abu Saada, 40 Naim Mohammad Raji Abdul Hadi, 32. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said their ambulance crews transported the bodies of the slain men to the Rafidia Governmental Hospital in Nablus, in addition to a young man who sustained injuries to the head and chest as a result of shrapnel from live rounds.

Israel has accused UNIFIL of failing to enforce Resolution 1701, which calls for a ceasefire and Hezbollah's disarmament. Israeli officials argue UNIFIL has not adequately restrained Hezbollah, while experts counter that both sides have violated the resolution's terms. Israeli leaders have expressed frustrations, calling UNIFIL a “human shield” for Hezbollah. Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for UNIFIL's withdrawal, stating it enables Hezbollah’s operations. Israeli rhetoric increasingly portrays UNIFIL as colluding with Hezbollah, feeding into a “dangerous and inaccurate” anti-UN narrative. This perception may impact future peacekeeping stability in the region. While heavy Israeli airstrikes have devastated southern Lebanon, flattening towns, killing over 2,574 people, and injuring more than 12,000 as of October. A leaked report shows Israel’s use of incendiary white phosphorus near UNIFIL bases, injuring 15 peacekeepers. Other reported incidents include direct fire on UNIFIL positions, demolitions of observation towers, and forcible entry into UNIFIL compounds. Rights groups warn that Israel's actions could amount to war crimes. UNIFIL has been active in south Lebanon since 1978, primarily to monitor ceasefires and facilitate humanitarian access. Source Chronology Chronology of important events from October 1 to October 20, 2024, regarding the incidents involving Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) October 1, 2024 Israel begins an invasion of Southern Lebanon, accompanied by airstrikes targeting locations throughout Lebanon. UNIFIL Non-Intervention: UNIFIL forces do not intervene and remain in their positions. October 4, 2024 IDF Orders Irish UNIFIL Withdrawal: IDF requests Irish UNIFIL personnel to vacate a position; both UNIFIL representatives and the Irish government decline. October 9, 2024 Disabling of UN Surveillance Systems: IDF soldiers reportedly disable video surveillance, lighting systems, and a radio repeater at UNIFIL bases UNP 1-31 and UNP 1-32A in South Lebanon through small arms fire. October 10, 2024 IDF Fires on UNIFIL Positions: Israeli troops open fire on three UNIFIL positions, including the main base in Naqoura. Two Indonesian peacekeepers are injured when an Israeli tank fires on an observation tower. IDF demands the immediate withdrawal of all UNIFIL personnel within 5 km of the Israel-Lebanon border; contributing countries decline the request. October 11, 2024 IDF attacks the Naqoura base again, injuring two Sri Lankan peacekeepers and damaging the perimeter wall. UNIFIL bases suffer heavy damage during clashes between IDF and Hezbollah. International Condemnation: France, Italy, and Spain release a joint statement condemning the attacks; the U.S. government calls on Israel to cease attacks on UNIFIL bases. UN Response: The United Nations terms the incident a "serious development." October 12, 2024 Another Indonesian peacekeeper is injured by Israeli fire. Condemnation by 44 Nations: Poland, joined by 43 other countries, condemns Israel’s attacks on UNIFIL, calling for a halt to attacks and protections for UN personnel. Countries include the UK, Germany, France, Italy, India, and others. October 13, 2024 Two IDF Merkava tanks reportedly breach a UNIFIL position, destroying the gate and staying for 45 minutes despite objections. Within an hour after the tanks depart, white phosphorus munitions are fired within 100 meters of the base, injuring 15 peacekeepers. Further International Condemnation: 40 countries issue a joint statement condemning the IDF's actions against UNIFIL personnel and positions. October 18 Peacekeepers in Meiss ej Jebel ran out of water after weeks without resupply. Access to positions near the Blue Line has been tough. While most positions have enough food and water for over 10 days, this one hadn’t received supplies since 29 Sept due to blocked roads. After delays from clearing the roads due to active fighting and warnings from the IDF of military activities, the position was finally resupplied on October 18 with food, water and essentials, allowing peacekeepers to continue their work. October 20, 2024 Attack on UNIFIL Base in Marwahin: IDF attacks a UNIFIL base in Marwahin, demolishing an observation tower and perimeter fence with a bulldozer. October 22, 2024 On 22 October, peacekeepers on duty at a permanent observation post near Dhayra were observing IDF soldiers conducting house clearing operations nearby. Upon realizing they were being observed, the IDF soldiers fired at the post. The duty guards withdrew to avoid being shot. Unifil statement :* "The IDF has repeatedly demanded that UNIFIL vacate its positions along the Blue Line and has deliberately damaged camera, lighting, and communications equipment at some of these positions. Despite the pressure being exerted on the mission and our troop-contributing countries, peacekeepers remain in position and on task. We will continue to undertake our mandated tasks to monitor and report. We remind the IDF and all actors of their obligations to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property. Any deliberate attack on them is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Resolution 1701."* November 7, 2024 A UNIFIL convoy bringing newly-arrived peacekeepers to south Lebanon was passing Saida when a drone strike occurred nearby. Five peacekeepers were lightly injured and treated by the Lebanese Red Cross on the spot. They will continue to their posts.

As of September 8th, 2024, 83 members of Gaza's Civil Defense have been killed , with the most recent being Colonel Mohamed Morsi, Deputy Director of Civil Defense in northern Gaza, who was martyred with a number of his family members after their home in Jabalia camp was bombed. Chronology On October 23, after 21 days of siege, shelling, massacres, and constant threat on all the health system and the population, the civil defense in northern Gaza has confirmed in a press conference that the entire North Governorate is no longer able to provide humanitarian services. All hospitals, including Indonesian, Al-Awda, and Kamal Adwan, are completely besieged. Many civilians remain trapped in their homes in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun. Civil defense vehicles have been directly targeted, with the only vehicle in the North destroyed by Israeli artillery. The civil defense holds the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the lives of civilians and the kidnapping of their teams, condemning these actions as violations of humanitarian, ethical, and legal principles. On October 19, a statement of the Human Rights Council Special Rapporteurs already lists a large number of attacks on the health system, aid and health workers (entitled "Gaza: UN experts decry bombing of hospitals and schools as crimes against humanity, call for prevention of genocide") "The UN experts called for the protection of all humanitarian workers, after the World Health Organization (WHO) documented more than 136 attacks on health care services in the occupied Palestinian territory, including 59 attacks on the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the death of at least 16 health workers since the beginning of hostilities on 7 October.

Since August 2024, eight organizations and over 50 specialists have been affected by this blockade, limiting essential medical services and psychological support for healthcare workers. Notably, Israeli authorities denied entry to Glia and the Palestinian American Medical Association, marking the first time entire aid organizations have been barred from Gaza.

Shells are falling on the wards between patients. There is no media outlet covering what is happening here. Save us, Al-Nasr Hospital is under siege, save us by any means possible."

International organizations like UNICEF or Doctors Without Borders warn of a humanitarian disaster, particularly for children and critical care patients in northern Gaza hospitals. The episode of the siege, the shelling, the evacuation and invasion of the Al-Nasser complex (10 to 27 November 2023) led to the death and abandonment of infants in intensive care for three weeks before being found dead. Their bodies were discovered in a decomposing state in the Al-Nasr Hospital nursery, in what may amount to a horrifying execution and a crime against humanity. Zoom in to see the map showing the three hospitals in Gaza that formed a complete medical complex Chronology of Events: Before November 10, 2023: The targeting of Al-Nasr Hospital or rather Al-Nasr Medical Complex started when the Israeli bombs caused a fire in the garden of the Eyes Hospital on 1 November According to “@ma_loolla" (certainly a member of the medical staff but her X account is now suppressed) the IDF prevented access to drinking water since November 3 On November 4 , the IDF ordered Dr. Mustafa Alkahlout, director of Al-Nasr Hospital, to evacuate, warning of an imminent strike. Shortly after, the hospital gate was bombed, killing at least two people, injuring others, and destroying the water station. Dr. Alkahlout appealed to the media for international protection against the threats and evacuation orders. On the same day, “@ma_loolla” wrote: "Once again, Al-Nasr Hospital now accommodates tens of thousands of displaced individuals, along with medical staff and their families. Everyone has lost their homes, including "children" patients from Al-Dura hospital who were evacuated due to phosphorus bombing and Al-Rantisi hospital bombardment that turned its patients into casualties. The hospital "Al-Nasr" houses a neonatal care unit with babies on artificial respiration and cases in intensive care. It is the last remaining children's hospital in Gaza.” On November 5 , the Israeli army shelled Al-Nasr Hospital. Hours later, on November 6 , they shelled the Al-Nasr Medical Complex, including El-Rantisi Cancer Hospital, the Eyes Hospital, and Gaza's only psychiatric hospital, killing six children and several displaced people. On November 9 , Al-Nasr Hospital was shelled twice more, severely damaging the entrance and cutting power to the ICU and neonatal unit. The oxygen supply was disrupted, leading to the death of Yahia Shabat, a child with SMA who relied on a respirator. Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. One of the examination rooms in Nasr Hospital and you see the hole that shows you the street thanks to the Israeli shelling on November 9,2023. Other footages : November 10, 2023: The hospital comes under heavy fire of Israeli Military, with shelling reported at the gate and within departments. Israeli tanks encircle the area. Doctors and staff at Al-Nasr evacuate under dangerous conditions, leaving behind five critically ill infants in the pediatric ICU due to the inability to safely transport them without life-support equipment. A nurse sheltering in the hospital reports sniper fire preventing movement and pleads for help through international organizations. The Orient XXI and the BBC articles describe an exchange between an officer from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) The COGAT (Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories), the Israeli organization that coordinates the activities of the Israeli military and interactions with Palestinian authorities and civilians in the occupied territories, and a medical official from Al-Rantisi Hospital regarding the evacuation of two hospitals, Al-Nasr and Al-Rantisi, located about 500 meters apart. In this case, the role of COGAT was to coordinate the evacuation of Al-Nasr hospital, but the promises of support were not fulfilled. Dr. Al-Kahlout, the director of the pediatric hospitals Al-Nasr and Al-Rantisi Hospital informed an agent from Israel's Cogat that ambulances could not access the hospital due to intense fighting and that some patients, particularly babies in intensive care, could not be moved without specific medical equipment. A COGAT official assured him they were aware of the situation and would act accordingly, yet the babies were left without assistance and that ambulances would be sent to evacuate the patients, including the babies in intensive care. The COGAT officer assured the hospital official that ambulances would arrive and everything would be fine. “I will coordinate with the primary rescue center. Don’t worry, I am close to the army, everything will be fine.” When asked, “Will ambulances take the patients and medical staff?”, the officer replied: “No problem.” Despite these promises, the ambulances never arrived. The medical staff, in a state of panic, attempted to evacuate the hospital on foot, holding white flags to signal their intention to flee. However, during this evacuation, they were targeted by the Israeli military, as shown in video footage from November 10. Mid-November 2023 : The hospital is left nonfunctional following the evacuation, despites Israeli assurance, no follow-up evacuation of the infants occurs. 27 November 2023: Discovery of the abandoned Infants by the journalist Mohammed Baalousha from Al-Mashhad TV who gained access to Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital. He discovered the decomposing bodies of five infants still connected to medical devices in the pediatric ICU. The footage of the infants circulates widely on social media, shocking the international community. December 2023: Reactions and Investigations NBC News obtains and verifies raw footage, confirming the advanced decomposition of the infants and the dire conditions in the ICU. Forensic Analysis: Experts verify the bodies' state aligns with the timeline of abandonment after the evacuation. On January 9 , Palestinian journalists and photographers revisited Al-Nasr Hospital only to discover it completely damaged. The war crime or crimes' evidence and scene had to be erased. Euro-med Human Rigth Monitor statement "Euro-Med Monitor emphasized that there was nothing that could have been done to save their lives during the evacuation, as patients and staff were forced to leave against their will, and transferring the vulnerable newborns to another accredited medical facility would have had to been done by the Israeli army—something that never happened. Instead, the infants were abandoned on the machines, and left to die in silence. Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor demanded that the Israeli army be held accountable for the incident and that the Red Cross should also be held responsible for suspicions of negligence in responding to calls to save the lives of children and patients in Gaza." The ICR crews were accused to have abandonned the infants, they released a statement on November 30. Here is the translation of the Arabic version (more precise than the English one) "International Committee @ICRC_ar Important clarification. The circulating footage of newborn babies dying is an unspeakable tragedy and an unacceptable reality in which civilians – including newborns and children – pay a heavy price in the conflict. The security situation in the northern Gaza Strip is becoming increasingly difficult. The ICRC has received numerous requests to evacuate hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, but the difficult security situation has prevented us from participating in any of these evacuations, and our teams have shown no commitment to participate. The ICRC reiterates its public emphasis on the need to protect hospitals in times of armed conflict. ICRC" Names of the martyrs : Jawaher Al-Kafarna Mazen Al-Taweel Salem Abu Qeinas Yahia Shabbat Unnamed : the son of Ibrahim Al-Bahtiti. A woman and her daughter (following the testimony of a female doctor on X, archived on " genocide in Gaza There are certainly more victims among the children, even if their remains were not found in the hospital : according to the testimony of several hospital officials, they were forced to leave two children in a care unit, two in foster care, and a fifth child with Edwards’ syndrome (trisomy 18) with an orphan girl whose entire family was killed. IDF statement and denial: Even if there is a recorded telephone conversation released by IDF about the evacuation, and the insurance of coordination with the Red Cross and the Israeli army as it was done for the evacuation of another hospitals, COGAT spokeswoman Shani Sasson informed The Post that Israeli forces did not instruct al-Nasr's staff to evacuate or conduct operations within the facility. "For an army that opens incubators to find weapons in it and find tunnels in strange places, I highly doubt it" . She refrained from responding to inquiries regarding whether COGAT or the Israeli military were informed about the babies or took any steps to provide assistance to them. During a live conversation on Twitter, IDF Spokeswoman Doron Spielman questioned if the whole thing was true : "There were no premature babies that decomposed because of the IDF; there were probably no babies that decomposed whatsoever," he stated.

The moment where Israeli occupation special forces assassinated four men by perfidy in nablus [Original post] Nablus | West Bank 🚨 👈 A newly released scene captures the moment Israeli occupation special forces assassinated four resistance fighters in Nablus. [Tags: Perfidy, Massacre, Extrajudicial execution, Mista'arvim (Musta’ribeen)] [Found by: West Bank Observer] [Location: West Bank > Nablus] [Archivist Notes] On october 9 , On Wednesday, Israeli special forces assassinated four Palestinian young men, and injured one, after targeting their vehicle in the northern West Bank city of Nablus. Perfidy to lead an extrajudicial execution Media sources said that an undercover Israeli unit (Musta’ribeen) infiltrated the eastern area of Nablus city, on Wednesday afternoon, and fired many live rounds at a vehicle, executing all four men inside.The Arab 48 News website quoted witnesses who said that “the sounds of heavy gunfire were heard near the eastern market in Nablus, and then soldiers were seen who were apparently riding in a civilian vehicle and wearing civilian clothes, firing at a Palestinian civilian vehicle from all sides.” The army sent several military reinforcements to Nablus city from Jerusalem Street, to facilitate the special forces’ withdrawal from Faisal Street. **Perfidy **is specifically prohibited under the 1977 Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, which states 1. It is prohibited to kill, injure or capture an adversary by resort to perfidy. Acts inviting the confidence of an adversary to lead him to believe that he is entitled to, or is obliged to accord, protection under the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, with intent to betray that confidence, shall constitute perfidy. The following acts are examples of perfidy: (...) (c) The feigning of civilian, non-combatant status. “Perfidy involves the killing or injury of an adversary in a manner that first invites but then betrays their confidence in a protection offered by the law of armed conflict,” says Sari. “In the present case, feigning to be medical personnel or civilians, both of whom enjoy protections under the law [would be perfidious].” Israel is one of the few countries (and the U.S. is another) that has not ratified Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, a 1977 amendment that specifically bans perfidy. However, perfidy is also illegal under customary international law. Sari points out that the Israeli Supreme Court has accepted that Israel is bound by customary international law. Sources : Hamas statement It quoted the Islamic Resistance movement Hamas, who called the Israeli assassination operation, a “heinous Zionist crime added to the occupation’s record of terrorism,” affirming that “the resistance in Nablus and all the governorates of the West Bank will remain unbreakable” despite “the brutality of the occupation.” Casualties : The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the slain men as Issam Mohammad Suleiman Salaj, 30 Abdul Halim Mohammad Nasser, 43 Salim Izz al-Din Mahmoud Abu Saada, 40 Naim Mohammad Raji Abdul Hadi, 32. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said their ambulance crews transported the bodies of the slain men to the Rafidia Governmental Hospital in Nablus, in addition to a young man who sustained injuries to the head and chest as a result of shrapnel from live rounds.

A female foreign activist has been injured following an attack by Israeli settlers on olive harvesters iSusiya [Original post] BREAKING: A female foreign activist has been injured following an attack by Israeli settlers on olive harvesters in the village of Susiya, east of occupied Hebron. [Tags: Nature, Looting, Settlement, Fire, Soldiers and Settlers, Baton, Agriculture, Wounded, Living conditions, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Apartheid] [Found by: Quds News Network] [Location: West Bank > Al-Khalil/Hebron > Susiya] [Archivist Notes] Since the beginning of October, and the olive harvest season in Palestine, attacks against Palestinian farmers have increased. Attacks and assaults against farmers are daily occurrences in the occupied West Bank and the vast majority target farms in the governorates of Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Salfit. Olive trees are estimated to account for a third of cultivated land in Palestine and contribute up to 20% of the agricultural output. The current olive harvest season is especially important for the Palestinians given the economic hardship caused by the war. Settlers have already used violence against harvesters, and many fear that the army won't provide adequate protection and will prevent them from accessing their lands. Throughout this olive season, Israel's Settler/Soldier militias have been diligently preventing farmers access to their lands, shooting/killing farmers, terror attacks, burning of homes & property, destruction of olive trees, theft of olive harvest. In most cases, Palestinians were in their lands harvesting olives, in areas which even Israel's "judicial & military authorities" "permitted" Palestinian farmers access to. However, Israeli settlers & soldiers coordinated to remove Palestinians from their lands, often by force. In some cases, like Sisiya on October 18, the settlers violently attack Palestinian farmers before the Israeli soldiers intervene to expel the farmers. In Susiya, the farmers had a fresh "Israeli court order" permitting them access - to no avail. In other cases, the Settler/Soldiers terrorists simply shoot & kill Palestinian farmers, such as in the case of Hanan Abu Salameh on October 17, a 59-year-old woman who was killed while harvesting olives in Faqqua near Jenin by a soldier who fired about 10 shots at her. West Bank olive harvest met with rising Israeli violence, says UN . Nine deaths in a week, including soldier’s killing of 59-year-old woman as she farmed, brings charges of ‘war-like’ tactics. The settlers attack, burn, and destroy. The soldiers attack and issue "military closed zones." In tandem. They work in close cooperation to prevent Palestinian farmers access to their olive harvest, imposing a new reality on the ground. Another new phenomena across the West Bank, is that Israeli settlers now felt comfortable to steal the Palestinian olive harvest after succeeding to expel Palestinians off their lands through the use of force. Sometimes, after they steal, they burn or destroy the olive trees. This is an overlooked reality in the occupied West Bank. And the settlers are celebrating this achievement, calling for donations and supporters, hoping to expand the new reality on the ground. This has been one of the most violent Olive Harvest season. Every day, Palestinian farmers were violently prevented from reaching the olive groves, or threatened and attacked inside their villages as warning. Source Chronology (ongoing) On November 28 in Salem Village, the Israeli forces obstructed Palestinian farmers' access to their lands in Salem, east of Nablus, preventing them from harvesting olives. Soldiers detained individuals, checked IDs, and used sound bombs and tear gas against youths. They also set up an iron gate at the northern entrance and placed soil berms to block vehicles. On November 25 Palestinian families are prevented from harvesting olives from their groves by Israeli colonial forces in the area of Sahel Turmus-Aya. Before being kicked out of their lands, farmers noticed that their olive trees bore very little fruit. Throughout this past year, the landowners were prevented from accessing their land at the hands of settlers and soldiers, thus making it impossible to tend to their trees properly. The soldiers also attacked a youngster. (according to Activestills On November 9 Ahmad Abdullah Ghazal from the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus has passed away days after settlers attacked him and sprayed him with gas while he was picking olives. He did not suffer from any illness prior to this incident. On November 8 The guard of Yitzhar settlement, along with settlers dressed in Israeli occupation forces uniforms, expelled farmers and stole olives from the lands of Burin village, south of Nablus. Landowners returned to their orchards in Umm Nir to continue the olive harvest that had been interrupted the day before. This time, Shmuel Lusky and another settler from the illegal outpost of Ancient Susya arrived at the scene, attempting to steal the harvested olives and assaulting the harvesters.

Since the start of the Olive Harvest, attacks have been non-stop and increasing, while soldiers watch and protect the settlers and facilitate the attacks. In the middle of the night settlers snuck into olive groves in Burin , near Nablus, and stole their equipment. An armed Israeli settler in IDF uniform threatens Palestinians after storming their land during olive picking in the village of Ramin , Tulkarm, West Bank. On october 17 : Hanan Abdel Rahman Abu Salama, 59, was killed by Israeli fire as she was picking olives near the security barrier in the West Bank village of Faqoua near Jenin , on October 17, 2024.

On September 12 : Settlers from the Rehelim area set fire to olive trees and agricultural equipment in the village of Yatma. The fires are still burning. UN Experts on Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinian Farmers On 17 October 2024, UN experts highlighted the severe challenges Palestinian farmers face during the olive harvest season in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Intimidation and Violence: Israeli settlers and occupation forces have escalated their attacks, severely harassing Palestinian farmers, restricting access to land, and threatening food sovereignty. 2023 saw the highest levels of violence, including physical assaults, property damage, and obstruction of access to farming areas. Many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and lands. Economic Impact: Due to Israeli restrictions, 96,000 dunums of olive-cultivated land remained unharvested in 2023, causing a loss of 1,200 metric tons of olive oil, valued at approximately $10 million. Cultural and Ancestral Significance: The olive harvest is central to Palestinian culture and heritage. UN experts view Israel’s actions, including the destruction of orchards and water source restrictions, as attempts to expand illegal settlements. The annual olive harvest is a vital economic, social & cultural event for Palestinians 🫒 It's why Irish and UE partners are joining local harvests across the West Bank as a protective presence against a rise in settler violence, vandalism & intimidation, as documented by @OCHAOPT since Oct 1st. The Yesh Din organization reports that settlers have attacked laborers, stolen olives, and destroyed trees across the northern West Bank. Despite agreements with the Israeli military for protection, attacks continued, particularly in areas like Mughayyir and Burin. In total, Yesh Din recorded 36 violent incidents since October 3, with 24 of them preventing olive harvesting, even on lands without IDF-imposed access restrictions. In some cases, IDF soldiers and police were present but did not intervene; in others, they allegedly assisted settlers in driving laborers off the land. Palestinian farmers are only granted access to their lands twice a year, and no coordination for the 2024 harvest has been finalized. The IDF claims to be providing protection amidst increased security risks. According to Yesh Din, the 2024 olive harvest in the West Bank was marked by severe disruptions and violence against Palestinian farmers. Violence and Obstruction by Settlers and Security Forces The harvest, beginning on October 15, was marred by assaults and expulsions of farmers by settlers and Israeli security forces. In Faqqu’a (Jenin District), soldiers shot and killed 59-year-old Hanan ‘Abd a-Rahman Abu Salameh. Soldiers, Border Police, and settlement Civilian Security Coordinators (CSCs) frequently prevented Palestinians from accessing their lands or failed to intervene against settler violence. Military closure orders barred Palestinians from large agricultural areas, blocking access to their own lands. Failures of the Coordination Mechanism: The army’s “coordination mechanism,” meant to ensure safe harvests, was poorly implemented. Coordination notices were often given last minute, with farmers receiving only 1–2 days for harvesting, making it impossible to prepare or complete their work. Settlers exploited these restrictions, accessing and harvesting Palestinian lands freely, often stealing crops with soldiers present and inactive. Violent Incidents and Crop Theft: Between October 1 and November 15, 2024, Yesh Din documented 113 incidents of violence, harassment, or crop damage on lands from 51 Palestinian communities: 68 incidents: Settlers and soldiers forcibly prevented harvesting. In 70% of cases, state-armed personnel aided settlers or failed to protect farmers. 43 incidents: Physical violence against harvesters, including beatings and live fire, resulting in one fatality. 52 incidents: Theft or destruction of Palestinian property, including olive crop theft on 38 occasions. 12 incidents: Deliberate damage to olive trees, with hundreds of trees cut, sawed, or burned. International Legal Obligations: UN experts reaffirmed Israel’s legal duty to end the occupation and dismantle settlements as directed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling on 19 July 2024, supported by the General Assembly on 18 September 2024. Provide reparations for human rights violations, return confiscated land, and allow displaced Palestinians to return. Call for International Protection: UN experts urge for protective measures, including a foreign presence to act as a buffer between Palestinian farmers and settlers. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food will present a report emphasizing Palestinian food sovereignty at the General Assembly on 18 October 2024.

This involving hundreds of prison combatants and members of the Masada unit. They raided hundreds of cells in security prisons across Israel. This operation was reportedly initiated due to warnings and fears of potential disturbances in connection with the events of October 7. "We detected that weapons were being collected" Said Kobi Yacovi, Prison Service Commissioner. Israeli media outlet Channel 13 participated in the collective punishment and retaliation against Palestinian detainees, covering and broadcasting it to the Israeli audience. Channel 13's pro-government anchor, Yossi Eli, has previously filmed propaganda videos for Ben Gvir's detention or concentration camps. This time, he joined what appears to be an orchestrated, brutal raid on Palestinian captives' cells. They claim that 'a plan was revealed' to launch a riot inside the Israeli concentration camps on October 7. Some observers highlight that the presence of media crews (!) shows a sadistic brutality carried out for propaganda purposes. According to international law, any 'journalist' taking part in this charade is committing a war crime. TV Banner Inside the detention cells of the Nuh'ba terrorists, Yossi Eli with the SBS forces in view of the riot alert People involved in the report : Channel 13's pro-government anchor, Yossi Eli, has previously filmed propaganda videos for Ben Gvir's detention or concentration camps. This time, he joined what appears to be an orchestrated, brutal raid on Palestinian captives' cells. Kobi Yacovi, Prison Service Commissioner Itamar Ben Gvir, Israeli National Security Minister. This Jewish Supremacist minister, had advocated for the execution of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons at the beginning of September 2024. Ofer Prison (Hebrew: כלא עופר, Kele Ofer) Formerly officially known as Incarceration Facility 385 (מתקן כליאה 385), is an Israeli incarceration facility in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. It is one of three prison facilities along with Megiddo and Ktzi'ot, the latter two located in Israel and not in the West Bank. Ofer Prison is run by the Israel Prison Service and like the other two facilities, used to be operated by the Israel Defense Forces' Military Police Corps. source 1 source 2
