WEST BANK, October 11, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists attacked Palestinian olive pickers across the West Bank. This is a scene that occurs every olive season. However, this year’s attacks have been notably more brutal, with settlers firing live bullets at farmers in a clear attempt to exploit the ongoing situation in the occupied West Bank.

In Salfit, a group of colonists from the pastoral outpost located between the towns of al-Zawiya and Rafat attacked farmer Sadiq Yousef Abu Naba'a and his mother, Hajja Hamda Abu Naba'a, as well as more than twenty other farmers from the Abu Naba'a family, severely beating them.

They also vandalized several of the residents' vehicles and fired live ammunition at them, forcing them to leave their lands.

Concurrently, colonists attacked farmers while they were picking olives in Burqa, north of Ramallah. They fired live ammunition at them, forcing them to leave the area, and confiscated their equipment.

In Nablus, dozens of colonists attacked olive harvesters in the village of Jurish and the town of Aqraba, south of Nablus, under the protection of occupation forces, preventing them from continuing their work on their lands.

Just a day earlier, colonists lunch a large-scale attack on lands in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, targeting olive harvesters, leaving around 50 Palestinians injured by citizens being injured by bullets, beatings, and suffocation, while approximately 15 vehicles were burned in the area.

During the annual olive harvest season, Palestinian lands are subjected to repeated attacks by colonists and the occupation army. Farmers constantly face attacks and violations that prevent them from accessing their lands, leading to significant material losses and exacerbating their daily suffering under the occupation.
