HEBRON, November, 11, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists today attacked Palestinian olive pickers in the Birin area, while the occupation army prevented farmers from picking olives in the Umm Nir area east of the town of Yatta, south of Hebron.

The coordinator of the popular and national committees to resist the wall and settlements, Rateb Al-Jabour, reported that a group of Israeli colonists attacked with stones the olive pickers from the Burqan family and attempted to steal the vehicle of a local resident in the Birin area east of Yatta.

He added that the occupation army forced farmers from the Al-Jabarin and Al-Habour families in the Umm Nir area to leave their lands and prevent them from picking olives.

The olive harvest season in the West Bank is witnessing repeated attacks by settlers and occupation forces, which have reached the point of killing, burning and cutting down olive trees, stealing the crop, and preventing farmers from reaching their lands.
