JENIN, Monday, October 12, 2020 (WAFA) –Israeli military occupation today blocked several agricultural roads in villages of Zububa and Ti'inik, to the west of the northern occupied West Bank city of Jenin, obstructing movement of farmers and the olive harvest season, said a local official.

Nidal al-Ahmad, head of the Rummana village council, told WAFA that the Israeli army started this morning blocking roads with dirt and cement blocks in order to prevent the farmers from accessing their lands as they began the olive harvest.

Palestinians heavily depend on the olive harvest season for their economic livelihood.
