RAMALLAH, Saturday, October 10, 2020 (WAFA) – Israel’s declaration of 130 military zones in the occupied West Bank, which means they will be off limit to Palestinians, affects the olive harvest season for hundreds of Palestinian families, today said the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.

Murad Shtawi, director of the commission in the north of the West Bank, accused the Israeli military and settlers in an interview on Voice of Palestine radio of attempting to sabotage the olive harvest season, which Palestinians anxiously wait for every year due to its importance to their welfare.

He said in addition to the Israeli occupation measures, the settlers also contribute to this by torching olive fields or stealing the harvest under army protection.
